Views Arguments Issues

Hello everyone,

My question is in regards to my current installation of Drupal 4.7.4, views.module, cck package (specifically the node reference module) and the viewfield.module

My objective is to create a small movie database that lists movies and crew as separate node types and to have each type be referenced within each other. For example, A 'movie' will list the crew when viewing a movie node. You can click on any of the crew and you will be directed to a 'crew' node type where all of the movies this person has been a part of will be displayed and referenced.

I'd like to do this with CCK and views as they can be customised to exactly what I require. I did stumble upon the 'Movie Database' module however, it did not suit my needs.

I currently have two cck node types (for simplicity of describing the issue, I have used the names):
1. 'movie'
2. 'crew'

The fields in 'crew' are:
'name' (textfield)
'bio' (textfield)
'credits' (viewfield)

The fileds in 'movie' are:
'title' (textfield)
'year' (textfield)
'director' (nodereference > crew)
'producer' (nodereference > crew)
'editor' (nodereference > crew)
etc...

I'm at what I believe to be the last step of the process in which I am to create a views query that will be embedded in the 'credits' (viewfield) in each of the 'crew' nodes, in order to display the movies that the 'crew' has been a part of. Either as a director, producer, etc...

So my question is what is the best way to do this, and how?

Do I either

1. Create a separate views query for each 'crew' node that is customized to their title field ('name' (textfield))?
or
2. Create 1 view that has an argument (of some sort?) that will filter all movie nodes that the current crew node has worked on and their job title on that film (director, producer, etc.).

I would assume 2. would be a more elegant way of doing this, but I am really stuck when it comes to the arguments portion of the views.module.

I have done some research in the handbook, but I can't seem to make sense of what it says and apply it to what I am trying to accomplish.
If anyone has any input on this issue or any questions, please post it here and I will be more than grateful for your insight.

Thanks in advance,
