Show your json

[teal isle]

this is not the whole json

there are much more

this one is for testing

    with open(os.path.join(sys.path[0], file)) as json_file:
        inhoud = json.load(json_file)



    for movie in inhoud:
        if movie['title'] == "Gladiator":
            movie['year'] = 2001
        laatste = max(movie['year'], key=lambda x: x['year'])
        print(laatste)

    with open(os.path.join(sys.path[0], file), 'w') as json_output:
        json.dump(inhoud, json_output, indent=4)

For the oldest year you should collect all the years from each dict in the list and then use min

i still get the same error when i do that

How did you change your code to do what i suggested?

[teal isle]

this is what you said right

@mellow roost

[mellow roost]

movie[" year"] there is a single year for each movie

Not all the years

Collect each year into a new list and then use min on that list

[rain thistle]

you can probably just do max(movie, key=lambda x: x['year'])
