Runtime: 64
Friends and ex teammates Larry Warbasse and Conor Dunne head out on their second slow pro tour. This time they’re off to the Crete; the largest of the Greek Islands. The adventure follows the pair as they ride a lap of the island that’s considered to be the oldest inhabited part of Europe, and the birthplace of Greek mythology. Cycling over the highest roads, hitting the remote hairpin bends, and seeing towering gorges - this is an island with jaw-dropping climbs and astonishing views. Over the 5 days, the friends face unpredictable weather, taste the delicacies of Greek cuisine, and encounter some local wildlife: all whilst trying not to get lost in the vast landscape of the Cretan Isle.

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.
