Birthplace:
France

Born:
February 28, 1951

Brigitte Rossigneux, born February 28, 1951, is a French journalist, who worked for a long time at Le Canard enchaîné. She is the mother of four children, including the journalist Aude Rossigneux, from her union with Louis-Marie Horeau.  She studied at the University of Vincennes from 68 to 71. She obtained a degree in German, and taught for three years at the private high school Sainte-Croix de Neuilly, before turning to journalism.  A graduate of the Center for Training Journalists (CFJ, class of 1976) in Paris, she worked for Le Monde, F Magazine, Droit de réponse (TF1), Taxi (FR3), Les Dossiers du Canard enchaîné. She is a specialist in defense issues. She has also made documentaries, including Les Apprentis sorciers, with André Gazut in 1996, on France's nuclear policy and the risks of radiation to which French soldiers were exposed during experiments in the Sahara in Algeria. She is the author of a series of five documentaries Le Nouvel Homme des casernes, on the professionalization of the armies (2000) for the Cinquième. She has carried out numerous investigations into the French security system.  Her laptop was stolen on the night of June 2 to 3, 2001, during a burglary of the offices of the Canard enchaîné, while she was working on embarrassing cases for French military officials. The journalist wondered about the reasons for this theft, and believed that it could be motivated by the desire to identify the names of her contacts at the Ministry of Defense.

The Search Form


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.
