An entitled young professional suffers from regret after losing his fiance in a tragic accident, but one day is awakened by her ghost who coaches him into living in the moment and not taking life for granted.
Elena, Connor's fiancé is a successful business consultant, but also wants to set a wedding date and one day start a family. Connor on the other hand is taking Elena for granted and puts work first with no desire to rush into plan the wedding. After their close friends, Liam and Michaela announce their pregnancy, Connor and Elena's relationship is put to the test and creates an intense argument. They are unaware that it will be their last. After days of not talking, Elena is on her way home from a business trip while Connor is planning on surprising her with wedding plans. During their FaceTime, Elena's taxi driver gets into an accident and she loses her life. Connor life falls into utter disarray and he becomes a recluse and closed off to his loved ones and closest friends. One day he is awakened by Elena, in what he can only assume is a dream. After moments of disbelief, he accepts that she has returned and agrees to her mission to get his life back on track. Following cleaning up his life and a series of failed dates, she suggests he joins a grief counseling group to be able to better express his pain and grief. While there, he meets Maya, a fellow griever and they quickly grow close. Their shared experiences in losing a loved one allows them to connect and feel comfortable around each other. Suddenly, Connor is not alone in his feelings. Elena's plan is working.
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.
