Overview from Open Movies

The Idol, as it is translated in English, is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Of course, it was long ago. Once reading in a newspaper an interview with Muboraksho Mirzoshoyev, I got a bit history of this movie. Yarmahmad Aralov, the editor, likes the voice of Muboraksho with a song "Ay yorum biyo" and starts decides to take a move which he wished for long time. He wanted to take a movie about GREAT SINGER, Daler Nazarov. But this time he concludes that it is time to ask for their opinion and meets Daler. Thus the story begins... Daler's character in the movie, Khurshed, is a guy from Badakhshan, mountaneous region of Tajikistan. His voice makes him very popular, not only among Badakhshanis, but even in Dushanbe, furthermore, in whole Tajikistan. But however their enemies can find a way to make troubles for him. He has been forced to come back to his motherland... The movie contains lot of songs inside. All songs were Nazarov's hits in those years: Majnun nabudum, Zebo ba Zebo, E ishqi sina suzad, Chashmi kabudi dudi... Muboraksho also sings his famous song: Ay yorum biyo! Unfortunately, I can not find this movie in any place. I searched it a lot, and am still searching, hope will find soon! Enjoy movie if you find!

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
