A couple lives in a housing complex, but as soon as the wife got married, she became a lazy. The husband keeps asking for sex. The exhausted man spends his days in despair, wondering what the point of marriage is. One day, his wife suddenly dies and he receives an insurance payout of 35 million yen. In an instant, the man became a wealthy bachelor. He was filled with joy and playfulness, but by chance, he became close to a housewife who lived in the same apartment complex and had been interested in him for some time. Unlike his wife, the housewife did all the housework with ease, and she was also kind and accepting of men when it came to sex. Impressed by the idea that she is the ideal wife, he offers to buy her for 30 million yen from her husband...

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.
