This story is about a beggar, a thief, and a child working on the street, a paper garbage collector, a leftist, a Muslim, a father and a second hand book dealer... All of them are the same man. Oktay Cetinkaya started his life a beggar in primary school years in Adana.His experiences of both hard and joyful times of life are different from everyone else's and now he continues his life as the owner of one of the biggest second hand bookstores in Istanbul. This young man, full of life, tells us the stories of back streets, his friends that are drug addicts, street children, beggars, garbage collectors- ghosts with whom he shared his own history, living as one of them.

Although TheMovieDB might provide a key to a YouTube video, there is no guarantee that the video might be present at YouTube.
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.
