Biography from TheMovieDB

Nicola Martinucci (born 28 March 1941) in Taranto, Italy, is an Italian tenor.  He has sung under the baton of some of the greatest conductors, including Claudio Abbado, Riccardo Chailly, Myung-Whun Chung, Sir Colin Davis, Lorin Maazel, Riccardo Muti, Nello Santi and Giuseppe Sinopoli.  Martinucci has sung most of the standard Italian repertoire roles, especially Verdi (Radames in Aida), Puccini (Calaf in Turandot, Luigi in Il Tabarro), and verismo (Canio in Pagliacci). His lyrico-dramatic Italianate sound, coupled with his similar repertory, dark Mediterranean looks, and bearded appearance, have led many into seeing him as a possible successor to the late Luciano Pavarotti.  In addition to the roles mentioned above, his repertoire also includes the roles of Cavaradossi, Pinkerton, Marat in Mascagni's Il piccolo Marat, and Salvatore Giuliano in Lorenzo Ferrero's Salvatore Giuliano.  From Wikipedia.  Not to be confused with the actress of the same name [as IMDB has done].

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.
