A gripping coming-of-age film that follows a group of teenagers as they navigate the challenges of growing up and chasing their dreams in a tough world. As they navigate the complexities of adolescence, the boys find themselves confronted with a variety of obstacles, from family problems and peer pressure to poverty and violence. Some turn to music as a means of expression, others are tempted by the allure of fast money and easy thrills, flirting with a life of crime. But no matter what path they choose, they are united by a deep-seated desire to succeed and find their place in the world.

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.
