A fascinating little-known historical tale is stirringly recounted in Air Born, an inspiring documentary that brings the story of the children who grew up in Israeli air force bases housing projects of the 1960s and 1970s. In a civilian housing complex surrounded by a bustling military base where his father served, director Yoram Ivry recalls his childhood protected by a fence and a guard with an endless feeling of freedom and security, full of dramatic events that influenced his life and the lives of so many other children who grew up in the shadow of wars. Celebrating the heroism and derring-do attitude of Israeli pilots, Air Born also touchingly conveys a valuable history lesson that is both informative and inspirational.

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.
