Two mental patients bond in an imaginary heaven where nothing bad can ever happen, only to realize that being cured of their condition would mean accepting the harsh realities of life. He lives in a mental hospital, but escapes to his own private heaven to spend his days with his dead mother. She was a deeply disturbed woman who turned her back on reality following a traumatic experience. When they meet in heaven, they are happy. Now, a doctor has appeared in heaven claiming to possess the cure that could restore normalcy to their lives. But what's normal about a world with so much pain, and why would they ever want to return to a world with nothing to offer them but heartache and misery?

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.
