The Katzman Tapes is a feature length mocumentary, that tells, ironically and satirically while maintaining a serious facade, the story of the state of Israel and Zionism. Lead by director Amnon Winner, who is following the elusive character of Samuel Katzman and his non recorded influence on the historical events . The Katzman Tapes is a satire on the political establishment and the Zionist dream nevertheless it is shown in a lyrical poetic cinematic language. The movie was shot over a course of a decade around the globe, it is intended not only for audience familiar with the Israeli history but for anyone who ever went on a quest in his life.

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:

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.
