They said it couldn’t be done. Four games, all on the road, with the World Championship of Professional Football on the line. No one believed that the Steelers, who squeaked into the playoffs with an 11-5 record, stood a chance. Little did they know that the Men of Steel were about to prove all the doubters wrong – and make NFL history in the process. The sixth-seeded Steelers defeated three top-seeded teams on the road before defeating the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl to capture their fifth Lombardi Trophy. It was the post-season that sent Bill Cowher and Jerome Bettis out as champions, the post-season that marked the return of the Steelers to the top of the NFL rankings and now you can relive all of the thrills and chills of this remarkable every time you turn on your TV.
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.
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.
