The busiest center of Buda is the Moszkva Square. From the late 50s to '68-69, the young high school and college students who hung out here never uttered the name Moszkva. To them, it was Kalef, referring to Kálmán Széll. Later, they were also called kalefs. These loosely connected 30-40 people were not famous for operating as an organized group, but rather for their crazy love of rock and roll, listening to music, flirting, going to parties, drinking, hitchhiking, especially to Lake Balaton and Poland; yet, already in the early 60s, the Ministry of Internal Affairs noticed them, treated them as enemies, and tried to crack down hard. They did not shy away from using the most humiliating methods, their goal being to smash "Kalef".

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.
