You take: a crazy witch, a pretty girl, a simple miller's boy, a stuttering cockroach, the Father Frost, together with his snowflake Snegurochka, and a pinch of Russian soul - ready is the basic material for the first part of the great fairy tale fun! The hunt begins and bankruptcies, bad luck and mishaps are inevitable. Of course, Father Frost and his chubby assistant Snegurochka, the snowflake, switch on and complete the hustle and bustle. In 2005, the witch Baba Jaga saw the light of the theater world with this piece and became a cult. Almost half a million spectators have since visited Baba Yaga on her subsequent adventures. Today, nine years later, the first part has lost nothing of its charm - still the little ones are happy about the crazy witch and the big ones laugh when Father Frost saves his big snowflake from bursting.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
