A man riding his motorcycle in the streets of Beirut, is tailed by a dozen of other motorcycles. Afraid, he escapes the gang and locks himself in his apartment. A young women dressed in a fancy black outfit, holding a wooden box in her hands is at his door. Without exchanging words, she handles him the box. Inside the box is an 8mm camera, enrolled in a purple velvet tissue. After looking at it closely, and holding it like if he is holding a gun, he puts it back on the table next to his real gun. He hears the roar of motorcycles under his building. He cannot hide anymore. Rushed, he takes the 8mm camera instead of the gun and goes down to meet the gangsters... That 8mm camera will save his life...

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.
