Over the period of three dreadful weeks the bodies of five women were discovered in the sleepy, unassuming English county of Suffolk. The Suffolk Strangler is a documentary that reveals how DNA evidence helped to ultimately convict the murderer who claimed more victims than The Yorkshire Ripper or even Jack the Ripper in the short time he was at large. In this access-led documentary exclusive interviews are featured with the prosecutors and police who worked to catch and convict the Suffolk serial killer, Steven Wright. Family members and close friends of the murdered girls also tell their stories alongside this gripping and tragic true-crime narrative.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
