I wanted to make a film about growing up. I was trying to understand skating, and why people skated, and what the purpose was, and after years and years of thinking, I figured out there was none. Not a single, straight answer, I mean — there was no one reason people skated, and no one feeling that came out of it, just the promise you will get hurt. And it reminded me of my childhood dog, and it reminded me of death and leaving and moving on. And it reminded me of aging, learning, being angry, learning how to deal with being angry; but of togetherness and joy as well. It reminded me of forgiveness. And in the end it was so simple and so clear. I wanted to make a film about that.

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.
