Ali and Veli come to Istanbul from their villages. Unfamiliar with the city, the young men are swindled in their first experiences of debauchery. Thanks to their uncles, who are experienced in nightlife, they decide to play by the rules of the game. Their uncle is Şaban Pekşaban, the famous pastrami king of Kayseri. The two naive friends constantly get involved in trouble. Ali and Veli rescue a singer who has gotten into trouble with the mafia, and thus step into the world of organized crime. They quickly accumulate many enemies. However, dealing with Ali and Veli will not be easy.
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.
