Biography from TheMovieDB

Darren Langlands is an award winning Writer, Director and Editor who grew up by the seaside in sunny Sydney, Australia. After years of extensive travel, he now calls the mostly dreary north of England home - don't ask, people do silly things for love.  Darren's films have been shown at festivals and film events all across the UK and internationally in places as far flung as Australia, Canada, Ukraine and India.  Darren's debut comedy short "The Santa Lie" was officially selected for over seven children's film festivals including the Adelaide Kids Film Festival (Australia), the worldKids International Film Festival (India) and the MICE Children's Film Festival (Spain). It went on to win two awards at the 2013 ProFire Short film Festival in Edinburgh.  His second short "One in a Million" has played at over seven international film festivals including the 2014 SHART Comedy Film Festival in Canada. Website Aint It Cool said "Congrats to director Darren Langlands on filling two minutes with pure enjoyment."  Darren sometimes hosts Q&As with filmmakers as part of Kino Shorts in Manchester. His original screenplay "Last Man on Earth" was shortlisted in the top 100 of the 2013 Collaborate8 scriptwriting competition.

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.
