In 1958 Pino Pascali made friends with Sandro Lodolo and shortly after he began to collaborate in his advertising studio, Lodolofilm. Over the course of ten years, he will make dozens of carousels. For Algida ice creams, in 1960, Pascali created "The Killers". However, the customer did not accept the proposal, deeming it unsuitable due to the too modern graphics for the time and the scenes of violence. However, Pascali continued to develop the subject by intervening on the style of the characters, creating sketches and sets and creating the basis for an independent animated film. In 1967 a trailer lasting 1'37” was made and proposed to the Cineriz production house, which appreciated the project but did not want to produce it because they considered it too sophisticated. Despite the second refusal, Pino Pascali continued to work on this project until the summer of 1968, when his life was cut short by a road accident.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
