Hadj Abderrahmane (in Arabic حاج عبد الرّحمان), known as Inspector Tahar (in Arabic المفتّش الطّاهر), born in the Télémly district of Algiers, Algeria, on October 12, 1940 and died on October 5, 1981 in Paris, is an actor and Algerian theater man.  Heir to Rachid Ksentini, Mohamed Touri or Don Quixote, full of resources and audacity - Hadj Abderrahmane did theater with Allel El Mouhib who was his teacher. This is how he played the monk in the play Monserrat by Emmanuel Roblès. He was parish priest in the Fusils de la Mère Carare. His social life, his childhood, his nature, his deepest feelings carried him towards drama, but the public decided otherwise and steered him, willy-nilly, towards "corrosive comedy".  This is how his adventures with his accomplice Yahia Benmabrouk alias the Apprentice of the TNA - began in 1967 with The Inspector leads the investigation carried out by Moussa Haddad with whom he will be in tandem for a long time. With his sketches, he traveled from East to West the country without counting the direct on TV. With its conservative corners, the character is very modern and stuck to social realities. He was about to shoot "The Corpse of the Estate" when death surprised him on October 5, 1981 in Paris.  Filmography:  1967: The Inspector investigates (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1968: The Mouse (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1968: The Infernal Pursuit (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1971: The Inn of the Hanged Man (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1973: The Holidays of Inspector Tahar (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1977: The Inspector scores the goal (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1978: The Cat (actor: Inspector Tahar)  1974: Chaàbia (Director)

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.
