Overview from Open Movies

Ben, Courtney, Melissa, and Darnell all think they are living the normal college life living and hanging out together. Ben is a freshman who still acts like he's 12 and is obsessed with being mischievous and taking secret photos of the girls. Courtney and Melissa are best friends that only have two things are their minds: boys, and themselves. But Darnell has his own little secret. Although Darnell seems to be the most normal of all of them, he carries a mysterious sketchpad and fights to keep its contents a secret. Ben is the first to claim to get attacked by some huge monster, only to have his claim fall to deaf ears. Then Melissa has her own nightmare to tell about. At first, she is also ignored, but when it happens again in the middle of the day, Courtney believes she has found the solution. It's only when Courtney has her own bad experiences that anyone believes the others' stories, but by then it's too late. Nothing can save them. And Darnell has something very special to reveal. But even that may not be as simple as it seems.

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.
