    You should return the response.json()

    useEffect(() => {
      fetch('http://localhost:8000/movies/getTopMovies')
      .then(response => { return response.json() })
      .then(data => console.log(data.data))
    }, [])

    Your getTopMovies controller doesn’t respond with anything.
    You should use the methods from the res object:

    1. Call the status method with 200 as the argument.
    2. Call the json method to send the data: "movies".

    Modify your getTopMovies into:

    export const getTopMovies = async (req, res) => {
  console.log("Inside Server");
  res.status(200).json({ data: "movies" });
}
