Jose Manuel Sandoval better known as Che Sandoval is a Chilean director, screenwriter and producer.  He was born in Santiago of Chile in 1985. He studied in Escuela de Cine de Chile, where he did his thesis work and first feature film, titled "You think you're the prettiest (but you're the sluttiest)". The movie was selected in several festivals, such as BAFICI, Tolouse, San Francisco, among others, and won the work in progress of Viña Film Festival and best movie in La Plata Film Festival in Argentina and Cine B in Chile. It also received rave reviews from the public and press, becoming a cult film in its country. "Much better than you" (spin off of the first) is his second feature film, and it has been selected at official selection of Guadalajara, Toulouse, Sanfic and Bafici. In this last he won FEISAL award, granted to the best latinamerican director under 35 years old.

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.
