The teacher Lydia Mikhailovna and her former student Zhenya are going to celebrate the New Year. Worthy men were not found, and therefore decided to celebrate the holiday together. Women dream of cooking stuffed carp, but none of them have the spirit to kill live fish, which serenely floats in the bathroom. Suddenly a doorbell rings and Lydia Mikhailovna recognizes her first love in the uninvited guest - Borya, whom they have not seen for 30 years. But Borya does not recognize Lidia Mikhailovna and takes the teacher for Zhenya's mother! Offended Lydia Mikhailovna tries to expose the guest for the door, but Zhenya decides to resurrect his former love and finds an excuse that Borya should stay: he must kill the carp ...

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.
