Football or Soccer has had an interesting journey in America but one thing is for certain, there would be no Beckham, Rooney or Ibrahimovic in the MLS, without the LA Wolves. In 1967, the United Soccer Association gave the USA its first taste of professional soccer and Wolverhampton Wanderers were one of 12 teams transported to the States to kickstart the movement. Culminating in the 'greatest soccer game ever seen', discover the unique story of when Wolves transformed into the Los Angeles Wolves for seven weeks during the summer of love to conquer the USA. Full Wolves Studios documentary in partnership with FootballCo and Mundial.

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.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
