Naïve moviegoers in his hometown think a certain actor is tough like the characters he plays and will be able to clear their town of badguys.

Singing star Alberto Vasquez was perfect for the lead in Pancho Tequila. Released in 1970,...and in color, Pancho Tequila ...if my memory serves ...is the story of a movie actor who has starred in Mexican westerns and is thought to be as tough as the character he portrays is somehow caught up in a small towns problems and naturally being known as the tough and fearless "Pancho Tequila", is shanghaied into rescuing the town. I can remember how much the audience laughed back in the day when I saw it. At the present, I am on a hunt for a copy of this movie in either VHS or DVD. If by chance you come across it, and you like funny westerns, Grab IT! Oh, by the way, the movie's dialog in it's entirety is in Spanish. A Very Special Thanks to my late mom for taking this reluctant son of hers to go see it and getting me hooked on ..... "Pancho Tequila" !

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.
