Get method conflicts not getting resolved in webapi

My webapi get methods inside MoviesController are

// GET api/movies
        /// <summary>
        /// Returns the sorted list of movies
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>Collection of Movies</returns>
        public IEnumerable<Movie> Get()
        {
            return repository.GetMovies().OrderBy(c => c.Title);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Returns an individual movie
        /// </summary>
        public Movie Get(int movieId)
        {
            var movie = repository.GetMovieById(movieId);
            if (movie == null)
            {
                throw new HttpResponseException(HttpStatusCode.NotFound);
            }
            return movie;
        }

and WebApiConfig.cs is

public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            // Web API configuration and services

            // Web API routes
            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );
        }

The problem i am facing is each time Get() is getting called.Get with Id method is not getting called.I have tried various solutions given on SO,but it is not working for me.

Make one more custom route as shown :

config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
     name: "MyRoute",
     routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{movieId}",
     defaults: new { movieId = "0" }  //instead of default movieid '0' you can specify as per your requirement.
   );
