Recently, a series of murders have been targeting only students at Nakatsu's university. Neither the murderer nor the motive is known, but the students gossip amusingly and don't seem particularly frightened, confident that they are the only ones who will not become victims. Meanwhile, Uno, who shoots only dodgy behind-the-scenes videos, asks to make a seppuku video featuring Nakatsu's girlfriend, Tomoko. Ignoring Nakatsu's objections, Tomoko, an aspiring actress, readily agrees to appear in the film. In the end, the filming takes place at Nakatsu's flat with Sakamoto, an aspiring cameraman, and his girlfriend Kaoru, who loves canned juice. However, halfway through the film, Tomoko claims that she is really going to cut her own stomach, leading to a struggle between an angry Nakatsu and Uno. Then the serial killer arrives, and Tomoko is targeted - but...

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.
