The cats aren't doing well at all in luring the mice into their traps, so they decide to have one of their hep-cat band members make like the pied piper of old while trolling musically through the streets of Miceville. So the hep-cat trolls while playing a hot clarinet, as it is known far and wide to one and all, that the citizens of Miceville are fond of 1940s swing music, and it is no time at all before the hep-mice are following the clarinet player to their impending doom...but, wait...what's that in the sky...could it be Mighty Mouse flying once again to the rescue of the Miceville citizens? Could be.
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.
