Overview from Open Movies

Is happiness good for human beings? Is truth man's invention? At the International Philosophy Olympiad teenagers are looking for answers. "everything you say and think" slides freely through the worlds of the national competition in Germany and the finals in Denmark - worlds inhabited by adolescents who have all experienced the feeling of being treated like weirdos, simply because of their passion for philosophy. Now they find out that they have allies all over the world. And here emerges Neal and Jonathan's friendship, the two German delegates. Neal reads Plato on his e-book reader and if he's bored he fantasizes about the challenge of having a zombie as a pet. Jonathan has dedicated his whole life to philosophy. His passions are kindled by epistemological questions like: How can we be certain that we aren't swimming in an ocean of lava right now? Questions that are enough to keep Neal and Jonathan awake the whole night. The film embraces thinking as a way of life. It's a record of the team's conversations with young philosophers about becoming restless after they start to practice autonomous thinking. It's the story of a friendship developing between Jonathan and Neal.

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.
