Janvier 1910. Paris est inondé. Bilan : 200 000 sinistrés, un milliard de francs de dégâts. Cette crue est centennale. Elle va se reproduire, les experts sont formels. Février 2011. Un technicien du métro parisien cherche désespérément sa femme qui doit accoucher dans un hôpital menacé par la crue ; un couple de touristes se réfugie dans un centre d'hébergement tandis que le fils de la préfète en charge des opérations se retrouve bloqué dans un distributeur bancaire... Les deux tiers de la capitale sont inondés : plus d'électricité, de téléphone, de chauffage, ni de gaz. Les transports à l'arrêt, l'économie paralysée, le quotidien des Parisiens bouleversé, des milliers de personnes fragilisées et des milliards d'euros de dégâts...
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
