"Honest, you guys! A spaceship! I saw a spaceship! It came right down over the camp, like it was watchin' us!" Marty's enthusiasm would have burst into outright shouting. But he knew the other fellows at the camp weren't likely to believe his story. Marty was sure he had seen the spaceship, though. Absolutely sure. In fact, before camp was over, he would take a ride on one - all the way to the moon. Or would he? What really happened to Marty deep down inside provides young viewers with a message impact unique to the time in which they live. The film story takes place in a wooded camp area where a Sunday school teacher take his class of boys on an extended holiday. Assisting him is a visitor from Great Britain, who teaches the boys how to play cricket. But the story's most important adventure consists of the change in Marty - and to the other boys in the Sunday school who decided to act like Christians so they could help Marty become one.
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.
