'Rocío y los detonadores' is a television musical that includes a fictional script with musical and dance performances. Directed and written by Fernando García Tola, it is an eclectic, bizarre and unusual work that, with Rocío Jurado interpreting herself, portrays in detail many notable points of the province of Granada and mainly its capital. In 'Rocío y los detonadores', Rocío Jurado is a famous singer whom two rival gangs want to kidnap. These bands will steal the artist from each other while they dance to the songs that she is singing through the streets of Granada.

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.
