The discussion between two chess players touches on the mysterious recurring dream of one of them, leading to the critical discovery of the timeless truth of the importance of living in the moment. 'Amor fati' (Latin: 'love of fate') is an expression used to describe an attitude in which one sees everything that happens in their life, including suffering and loss, as good or, at the very least, necessary. Friedrich Nietzsche's reflections on the phrase formed the concept of ‘eternal recurrence’ - the idea that, over an infinite period of time, everything recurs infinitely. An individual, therefore, develops a will to live exactly the same life over and over for all eternity.

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.
