In a future where Virtual overshadows Reality, a global sterilization of males exists. The edible product Prolifricil pauses that sterilization - allowing for only "the best of us" to reproduce...but the government deems who "the best" are.
Children of Men meets A Clockwork Orange, Celsius 486 takes place amidst a dark and overpopulated future where Virtual meshes with Reality and only the most privileged are allowed to breed. Though a global sterilization of males exists, the chewable gum Prolifricil momentarily disrupts that sterilization - allowing for only "the best of us" to reproduce. Black market versions of Prolifricil prey on humanity's desire to procreate. However, a government powered police force seek those who have defied the non-procreation laws. Those who are apprehended, and deemed inappropriate for proliferation, are sentenced to virtually watch and rewatch commercialized propaganda for the gum - until their subconscious reality washes away any desire for the gum and what it can produce.

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.
