Back in 2013 Frances Ha brought black and white back. Six years later we get Little Women in colour, but not everyone is read to update (The Lighthouse). Taking Greta G's vulnerability and awkwardness up a floor to Sydney townhouse balcony level is Vicky T who asks us: can you relate? While everything else starts looking like Uncut Gems (Scorsese).

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:
