Dictionary/List Homework
#16
I am now getting my inside loops to run indefinitely, why?
If I don't have the while loop at the beginning the other loops run as they should and stop. When I add the while and else statement, they run non-stop.

options = input()
while options == 'y' or 'd' or 't':
    if options == 'y':
        print('\nMENU\nSort by:\ny - Year\nd - Director\nt - Movie title\nq - Quit')
        print('\nChoose an option:')
        for key in movies:
            print('%s:' % key)
            i = 0
            while i < len(movies[key]):
                print('\t%s, %s' % (movies[key][i], movies[key][i + 1]))
                i += 2
            print()
    director_list = []
    if options == 'd':
        print('\nMENU\nSort by:\ny - Year\nd - Director\nt - Movie title\nq - Quit')
        print('\nChoose an option:')
        for key in movies:
            i = 1
            while i < len(movies[key]):
                director_list.append(movies[key][i])
                i += 2
        set_director = sorted(set(director_list))
        for director in set_director:
            print('%s:' % director)
            for year, value in sorted(movies.items()):
                if director in value:
                    print('\t%s, %s' % (value[value.index(director) - 1], year))
            print()
    title_list = []
    if options == 't':
        print('\nMENU\nSort by:\ny - Year\nd - Director\nt - Movie title\nq - Quit')
        print('\nChoose an option:')
        for key in movies:
            i = 0
            while i < len(movies[key]):
                title_list.append(movies[key][i])
                i += 2
        set_title = sorted(set(title_list))
        for title in set_title:
            print('%s:' % title)
            for year, value in sorted(movies.items()):
                if title in value:
                    print('\t%s, %s' % (value[value.index(title) + 1], year))
            print()
else:
    if options == 'q':
        print('\nMENU\nSort by:\ny - Year\nd - Director\nt - Movie title\nq - Quit')
        print('\nChoose an option:')
