Overview from TheMovieDB

The middle of the 19th century. Hadzi Gencho's daughter Lila and Dyado's Liben son Pavlin are in love. Hadzhi Gencho is proud of his learning and of his pilgrimage to the Holy Land whereas Dyado Liben used to be a rebel in his youth. The two fathers get drunk and start an argument. Hadzhi Gencho leaves offended. Dyado Liben invites Hadzhi Gencho to visit him. The two decide to marry their children. Matchmakers led by Dyado Liben come to Hadzhi Gencho's house. They fix the date of the engagement. The town gossip speaks ill of the forthcoming wedding. She spreads a rumor that a goblin haunts Hadzhi Gencho's yard. Pavlin pays no attention to the rumors and goes to Lila. Her father sees them embrace and begins to shout. He accuses Pavlin of having stolen money from him. Dyado Liben pays Hadzhi Gencho the sum. The engagement is broken. Lila is in the convent. An old woman leads Lila out of a secret door. She mounts Pavlin's horse and they ride away.

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.
