Biography from TheMovieDB

An Egyptian poet and writer, born in the village of Abnoud, Qena Governorate, in 1938, before he moved with his family to the city of Qena. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Arabic Language from Cairo University, and was well versed in the Arabic language. He formed a creative trio with Amal Dunqul and Yahya Al-Taher, and they wrote classical poetry in the early sixties, after which he turned into colloquial poetry, which was turned into many songs for the most prominent singers, including Abdel Halim Hafez, Mohamed Roushdy and Shadia. He also wrote the lyrics of many TV series, such as Mountain Wolves and Al-Nadim. He wrote different stories about his life in Upper Egypt, which were published in separate episodes in Al-Ahram newspaper, and were collected in the book My Sweet Days, which was published in three parts. He passed away on April 21, 2015 at the age of 76.

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.
