Hana is a woman who works at a CD pressing factory. As usual, she went to work at the factory, where she quietly packed the CDs, and in between, observed the various human patterns that were unfolding in the corner of the factory. On this day, I happened to see a scene where a loan shark-like collection rushed in and questioned the president and his wife. "Hanada is a tutor." On this day, on her way to her home tutor as usual, she met a high school student, put her on the back of her bicycle, and headed home with her. At her house, she begins to put her love motion on Hanada more than usual. Hanataro is a struggling manga artist. A man lives next door who doesn't know what he's doing, but he's interested in a beautiful woman who visits there. On this day as well, he held the cup up against the wall to eavesdrop on the conversation. The three of them were living their usual, unchanging lives, but on this day, they began to feel that something was about to change. (autotranslated)

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.
