Georgian - South Ossetian conflict, August 8, 2008. Georgian troops are in the main administrative town of South Ossetia – Tskhinvali. While searching for a house, a Georgian soldier hears extraneous noise coming from the underground.
During the Georgian-Ossetian conflict in 2008, after bombing, two men - Georgian soldier Zaza and terminally ill old Ossetian man Zaur become trapped in an underground room of a 5-store building. They immediately begin to blame each other for incitement a war, argue who is guilty, and who is right. But as time passes the two gradually realize that both sides have their truth and the whole conflict is inspired by the "third force". From their further conversation, behavior, how they treat one another it becomes obvious that both are sons of the high Caucasian mountains, with similar traditions, beliefs, unwritten Caucasian laws and heritage and both nations have nothing to conflict on. As it comes to light later, the old man is inhabitant of the house and knows the spare exit from the basement. Ossetian asks Georgian to hand the letter he's going to write before his death, to his (Ossetian's) son after the war is over. Than the old man shows the Georgian the second exit.

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.
