On the 8th of September 2022, Charles's life would change forever. At the exact moment of his mother's death, the Prince of Wales became King Charles Ill. The extraordinary reign of Queen Elizabeth Il ended, and the day he had spent a lifetime preparing for had arrived. A moment he would later say he had dreaded his whole life. Buckingham Palace announced the Queen was under medical supervision, and one by one members of the royal family were making their way to Balmoral to see the Queen. Charles and Anne made it back to Balmoral to be with their beloved mother as she peacefully passed away. The end of the second great Elizabethan era, and a time of tremendous sadness for the family. Broadcasters announced her death, and stated the King and Queen will return to London the following day. There is no pause in the continuity of the monarchy, and following his mother's example, Charles stepped into his duties as king.
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.
