In the spring of 2003, Moscow surgeons separated two Siamese twins, Zita and Gita Rezakhanov. Two girls from a tiny Kyrgyz village lived together from birth: they had a common bladder, fused intestines and three legs for two. Doctors helped the Siamese twins to find a new life, but the girl's happiness was never achieved. The separated sisters had to go through severe depressive episodes and accept that they would never be able to start a family and have children. Neither of them was ready to lose each other, but in 2015, Zita died at the age of 24.
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.
