Keven likes movies. A lot. Almost an unhealthy amount.

Keven heard about Drupal and decided to create a web site where he could post reviews about movies he's seen in an effort to earn a few dollars in Google ad bucks to keep his movie-viewing habit at a high-level. So, he got himself a web host, installed Drupal and started posting reviews using the default "story" content type.

After entering a few hundred reviews, Keven realized that there was no easy way to display a list of all the movies he'd seen that were directed by Clint Eastwood - sure, he could use Drupal's built-in search system, but that would also return movies in which Clint Eastwood starred. Not good.

So, Keven reluctantly dove into the Drupal module pool and started looking for something to help, eventually stumbling across CCK (apparently Keven doesn't read any Drupal blogs, listen to any Drupal podcasts, or pay any attention to the Drupal community - like 99.999% of the inhabitants of Earth).

After installing and enabling CCK, a whole new (Drupal) world opened up to Keven - apparently Drupal was more than just Titles and Bodies. Keven could create content types with brand new fields. Lots of them. All kinds of them.

He quickly cancelled a night at the movies to rebuild his site using his new-found power. He created a "person" content type with fields for the person's name, date of birth, and image. Then, he created a "movie" content type that used various "user reference" fields to be able to select the director and actors from the "person" nodes along with an integer field for the box office gross and a date field for the release date.

Once he migrated all of his content to the new content types, Keven was pleased. Using CCK's outstanding integration with the Views module he was able to easily create numerous pages and blocks that displayed movies filtered and sorted by their director, actors, box office gross, and release date.

Watch out you other movie sites out there, Keven is armed with the power of CCK and has you in his sights!
