Louise Houghton

Louise is a British host, broadcast journalist and voiceover artist. She works internationally on TV, online and at a variety of live events.  Louise is currently based in Los Angeles, working with Universal, Cellar Media & SPAsigma on film, TV, online content and a brand new podcast.  You can find her regularly hosting Euromaxx - DWTV's highest ranked magazine show broadcast around the world. Working here as a broadcast journalist, Louise loves the process of delving into current affairs and researching a topic fully before going live on air. The studios are in Berlin but the show is broadcast internationally.  Having begun her career hosting the FIA European Drag Racing Championships for SkySports and the UK's Channel 5, Louise moved on to develop her passion for music. She has been invited to talk in panel discussions and interview a great number of musicians at music festivals. For 5 years she co-produced and co-hosted BALCONY TV in London - An Online concept that she also transferred into a TV format, broadcasting on LONDON LIVE in the UK. Louise is now hosting sessions with Balcony TV LA.  It was with the company BIG EARTH that Louise gained her production experience, working on projects such as LONG WAY ROUND where Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman rode round the world on their motorbikes. With the same company, Louise is developing a new show about being British and many of the episodes are available on YouTube.  When it comes to print, Louise has contributed to both books in the series of "How to be a Presenter " written by Kathryn Wolfe.  Louise has a background in acting, having appeared in BBC series like HOLBY CITY and HIGH HOPES. Her last lead role in a feature film sat at No 1 in the US Gay film charts for several months.

The Search Form


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.
