Dane Bowling

With a sharp eye and sharper wit, filmmaker-director-writer (and everything else) Dane Bowling exposes audiences to his love for the grotesque with joyful abandon.  Praised for his quick turnaround time and an inimitable aesthetic, he is a one man production team operating under the credence: "Make it fast, cheap, good" and accepts nothing less. With a vision and style that is equal parts Gen X nihilism and Midwestern charm, fans of his work are an exclusive few that pride themselves on being exclusive because they're always ahead of the curve.  His style of guerrilla film making inspires young filmmakers to pick up the tools available to them and go forth to create by leading by example. Having been quoted as saying "Use your phones if you have to, everyone is walking around farting on a film studio in their pocket" he makes the art of movie magic accessible to all.  With a taste for kitsch, his vision adds a polish and a kinetic energy to create a style that is uniquely his. His masterful grasp of technique allows him to subvert all the rules of film making, making him an iconoclast to watch

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.
