From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Elias Saba is a Lebanese politician and economist. Saba served as Finance minister on two occasions; firstly, in the government of Saeb Salam, from 13 October 1970 to 27 May 1972; secondly in the government of Omar Karami, from 21 October 2004 to 18 April 2005. He also served as deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence in Salam's government. His time in office was controversial on both occasions.[citation needed] Saba was among the politicians who joined former Prime Minister Omar Karami in creating the Rassemblement national in 2006.

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:
