Le Malade Imaginaire, the last dramatic work written by Molière, is a comedy-ballet in three acts and in prose, created on February 10, 1673 by the Troupe du Roi on the stage of the Palais-Royal in Paris. Argan, an "imaginary patient", wants to marry his daughter Angélique to a doctor, Thomas Diafoirus. His second wife, Béline, would like to send her daughter-in-law to the convent in order to recover a nice inheritance. Angélique loves Cléante, and Béralde, Argan's brother, tries to reason with his brother so that he sees more clearly in Béline's game, and so that he accedes to his daughter's wishes.
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.
