Oprah Winfrey is one of the most widely-known and inspirational women in the world. She is best-known for her internationally-acclaimed and groundbreaking talk show, The Oprah Winfrey Show, which she hosted for 25 years. After launching her own television network--the Oprah Winfrey Network--and production company Harpo Productions, and co-writing five books as well as appearing in several films, she became the first African American female billionaire. She is a media leader, talk show host, TV producer, actress, and philanthropist. Considered by many as one of the most influential women in the world, her powerful impact on society is even known as the "Oprah effect". In the course of her remarkable life journey, she has scored success after success.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
