Joe is a Film and Television Editor originally from the Highlands of Scotland who now is based in London. He is currently working on period drama Becoming Elizabeth for Starz and Lionsgate, directed by Catherine Morshead and written by Anya Reiss. Previously this year Joe completed a BBC Studios comedy pilot Black Ops. Working again with director Catherine Morshead and starring Gbemisola Ikumelo (The last tree) production for the series has been signed for 2022. 2020 had seen Joe working on big-budget fantasy tv show The Wheel of Time with show-runner Rafe Judkins (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D) for Amazon Prime, and Pennyworth with Bruno Heller (Gotham) for Warner Brothers Media and Epix. 2020 saw the release of the critically acclaimed Dating Amber an Amazon Original feature film written and directed by David Freyne (The Cured) and starring the supremely talented Fionn O’Shea (Normal People) and Lola Petticrew (A Bump Along the Way). Described as “2020’s best coming of age drama” the film has been very well received thus far. Praised for its razor sharp wit and emotional depth, the central relationship between the duo is “Selfless and courageous, and utterly infectious”. “Dating Amber gives great cathartic scope. Not just to the generation it portrays, but to the new one that—seeing stories like this—might not need to hide.”

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.
