1300 meters from the arrival of the 13th stage Carpentras-Orcières Merlette (192 kms), then, in the Col de Sauze, the 14th stage Orcières-Merlette-Briançon (201 kms) of the Tour de France 1972. Filmmaker Gérard Courant photographed Eddy Merckx (yellow jersey), Cyrille Guimard (green jersey), Luis Ocana (white box combination), Lucien Aimar, Lucien Van Impe, Joachim Agostinho (Portugal champion), Felice Gimondi (Italian champion), Raymond Poulidor, Karl-Heinz Kunde, Leif Mortensen, Bernard Thévenet. The stage of Orcières-Merlette was won by Van Impe ahead of Agostinho and Merckx and that of Briançon by Merckx in front of Gimondi and Guimard. This clip is an excerpt from the first episode of Gérard Courant's "Carnets filmés" entitled "Aurore collective".
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.
