Overview from TheMovieDB

Portraits of emblematic, iconic characters: those who were left on the shelf, the bachelors and spinsters. Life stories of Venezuelan men and women who show their customs, their views of the world, of love, of success. Existential narrations in which being single extends the concept of love to other possibilities of loving that are beyond a lifestyle.

Overview from Open Movies

From all the love stories there are those ending with couples and families who perpetuated in their grandchildren's the lives of towns. But there are also the stories that are told in this documentary. The life of those who remain "to dress saints"; stories of love with another flavor, failed love, truncated or forbidden stories of the other truth that anyone can find in their way. They are existential stories, of bachelors, men and women that tasted the rawness of life, of a broken heart and loneliness and who are humans with a unique, wisdom and art. It's a great love story that speaks of mystical beings who found other opportunities to love beyond a way of life.

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.
