Two old women who live in a mansion, which is locked between two skyscrapers, hate their neighbors because they are rebel medicine students who party all day long. One day, one of the old ladies get sick and is saved by one of the students, arousing a weird friendship and an opportunity to discover new experiences and change behavior patterns.
Two old sisters -from an aristocratic family- have as neighbors a group of college students. The kids like to throw loud parties every weekend. The sisters get annoyed by the situation and call the police. And that makes the youngsters angry at them. In a turn of events, the old ladies are obliged to befriend the students. The generational gap between the characters creates fun and frenzied situations. At the end, the unlikely friendship becomes strong and life-changing for everyone.

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.
