Biography from TheMovieDB

César Dávila-Irizarry is an award-winning Puerto Rican composer based in Los Angeles, California. He is known for creating powerful sonic experiences that blur the line between music and sound design. César uses electronic and acoustic sounds to enhance storytelling for film, TV, art, and dance. The Huffington Post says his music style "speaks to us on an unconscious level." César is known best as the main composer of the theme song of Ryan Murphy's "American Horror Story" (2011 - present) and the sole composer of the theme song of the Ron Howard and Brian Grazer docu-series "Crime Scene: The Vanishing at the Cecil Hotel" (2021 - present). He has also written music for the award-winning indie director Joel Benjamin, the award-winning Butoh dancer Yokko, and the worldwide architecture firm ARUP.  What attracted César to the world of film music is his passion for storytelling and artistic expression. In addition, he draws inspiration from mainstream and experimental music and the chaotic tropical soundscapes he grew up listening to in his homeland. César is the proud recipient of 9 BMI music awards.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
