Biography from TheMovieDB

Henri Sannier (born 7 September 1947) is a French sports journalist and television presenter.  Henri Sannier was born in Puteaux in the department of Hauts-de-Seine. He graduated at the École supérieure de journalisme de Paris.  He created the 19/20 in 1986 on the channel FR3 and became the host of the Journal de 20 heures on the channel Antenne 2 from September 1987 to September 1992. He then co-hosted the Journal de 13 heures on France 2 in duet with Laurence Piquet until September 1993 and alone until January 1994. He also hosted Soir 3 until September 1997, the evening news on France 3.  Since 1994, he hosts the sports magazine Tout le sport on France 3. He is currently the chief editor of the program and was honored of it by a 7 d'Or in 2001. He is also the managing director of France Télévisions.  As a cycling enthusiast, he commentated the Tour de France in 2005 with Laurent Jalabert and in 2006 with Laurent Fignon. Henri Sannier knew that he would not comment the Tour de France in 2007. However, he accepted to host Journal du Tour in the evening and Avant le Tour, a program before the beginning of the cycling race.  Sannier was heavily involved with Téléthon en France, undertaking several counts of road bicycle racing for the live television shows. These included Bordeaux—Paris, Berlin—Paris and in 1994 London—Paris. On the night of 2/3 December 1994 Sannier and a peloton of cyclists took their bikes in the Channel Tunnel, cycling via the service tunnel between Folkestone and Coquelles as part of the route for Téléthon en France '94. He was accompanied by Jean-Michel Guidez, Patrick Chêne, Jean Mamère, Marc Toesca and others.  In 2006, he published a book with Emmanuel Galiero titled Les histoires secrètes du Tour de France.  Henri Sannier is also the mayor of Eaucourt-sur-Somme since 1977, and the president of the association of the Festival de l'oiseau et de la nature.  Henri Sannier is married and has two children, Antoine and Emmanuelle.  Source: Article "Henri Sannier" from Wikipedia in English, licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0.

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.
