Young San Francisco ride share driver Guillaume tells all of his passengers that he is homesick for France, but realized he was afraid of flying and feels he cannot return. One passenger, a beautiful woman named Amy, feels bad for Guillaume and offers to become his friend. Soon the two are having an affair and Guillaume, Amy and her boyfriend Mike become entangled in a quarter life crisis. As the three try to figure out what it is they want in life, they are interrupted by a series of strange occurrences that make coming to a decision even harder.
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.
