**Content Types** are just that, types of content that you can use to better manage data on your site. Something like [Custom Post Types for WordPress](http://watch-learn.com/video-tutorials/using-wordpress-custom-post-types-custom-fields/), but they come out of the box with Drupal.

Content types usually consist of **Fields**. You can create very complicated types of data by using these two features. In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to create content type for inputing movies, with data like director, actors and movie poster.

Also we are going to use Devel module once again to generate content for this new content type.

In this Drupal 8 Theming tutorial we are going to be talking about Content Types and Fields, one more powerful Drupal feature.

Creating and Displaying Content Types and Fields

Views is one of the most powerful features of Drupal. It allows us to create custom queries on our content and display it on our pages or blocks.

In this episode we are first going to create dummy content using [Devel module](https://www.drupal.org/project/devel) and then we are going to display it on our front page using Views.

And I can tell you right away, we are not going to like how that looks so we are going turn to Views once again and with a bit of help from css display our content just the way we like it :) .
