World-renowned scientist Professor Liam O'Connor has invented the BRAINWAVE, a device which allows the skills of any astronaut, fighter pilot, or brain surgeon, in fact anyone, to be transferred to another human being. The only trouble is that it only works with his nine-year-old son Conor, whom it transforms into SIROCCO 9. Now Earth is under threat from a particularly nasty breed of aliens led by Commander Thex and there is also the problem of SPOOK, a criminal organisation based in Cuandra Luba, who are bent on world domination. The only solution is to launch SIROCCO 9 in a thrilling and fast paced all-out action attack and Conor O'Connor is more than up for the task. STAND BY FOR ACTION!!!!. SIROCCO 9 is dedicated to the memory of Sylvia (Thunderbirds) Anderson (1927-2016) a most gracious lady and a good friend, also for my friend Lenny Jones the voice of Joe 90.

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.
