Çilek's biggest dream is to go to Istanbul and become a famous singer. Kaan, on the other hand, has been secretly watching Çilek for years and wants to declare his love for her. Their paths cross one night at a bar owned by Hayri, Çilek's boyfriend, where she is singing. Kaan promises Çilek that he will help her fulfill her dreams, and Çilek responds by offering him her love. Neither of them can resist this tempting deal. Taking advantage of a time when Hayri is not in town, they set off for Istanbul without looking back, chasing their dreams, but they are drawn into an extraordinary adventure with Hayri and his men, as well as the police, hot on their heels.
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.
