Abbey Norton, daughter of a wealthy British family, and Greg Dukakis, son of Greek immigrants, who have wanted nothing more to do with each other since their messy break-up, meet again as rival candidates for the House of Commons election in the same constituency. As if that wasn't punishment enough, Abbey's mother and Greg's father reveal to the perplexed ex-couple that they are getting married. After the death of Leo's wife, the conservative, aristocratic Gwen and the Greek immigrant met and fell in love in a choir. Gwen and Leo's wedding would turn their estranged ex-partners into stepsiblings. An idea that deeply displeases both of them, as they have not yet overcome the injuries they inflicted on each other when they separated. Abbey and Greg try to talk their parents out of the wedding by any means necessary.

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.
