If you find yourself screwing a strange piece of ass who’s waaaaay out of your league and her husband happens to walk in on you and she shoots him dead — whatever you do, don’t cough up 25 G’s for her to hush it up because, my friend, you’re being scammed. It’s just the old badger game. And if you do give her money and her name is Sharon Mills (CLAUDINE BENET, an angular blonde with hefty hooters and a divine ass) then you must be Ed Garner, victim of these lewd and larcenous Love Games... Suspecting a scam, Ed — a married, middle-aged man — seeks help from private detective Rick "The Dick" Taylor,a hard-drinking, wise-cracking, ex-actor who believes there’s "nothing like getting laid in the line of duty." Taylor’s dum-as-they-cum secretary, Lucy Brown (SHARON KELLY), a.k.a. "Juicy Lucy, the girl with secretarial secretions," is only too happy to fill her mouth with Rick’s private dick. As Rick says, "A woman should be obscene and not heard."

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.
