In 1949 one name dominates the headlines: Bruno Gröning. Newspapers print special editions, radio and newsreels report about him. A film is made. Wherever he goes, thousands of people throng from all over to see him. Gröning becomes an international sensation. Most of those who come to him are not fans or followers. They are sick people. Beaten down by war, given up on by doctors, these people had only one wish: to become healthy, free from suffering and pain. They want Bruno Gröning to help them. And he does help them. “There is no incurable‒ God is the greatest physician!” Those are his words. And the inconceivable happens. The documentary film “The Phenomenon Bruno Gröning” traces the dramatic events of that time with original film and sound recordings, archival material, more than 50 eyewitness interviews, as well elaborate film re-enactments. Gröning died in 1959 but extraordinary healings are still occurring today.

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.
