Josep 'Pep' Guardiola is a football manager, known as being one of the greatest tacticians in the history of the sport. He was born in Catalonia and has been a FC Barcelona fan since his childhood, acting as a ball-boy for the senior team when he trained in the team's youth academy. He played for Barça for 11 years and won four back-to-back La Ligas and the club's first European Cup. From 2008-2012, he managed a Barcelona team that, with Messi as its star, will go down as one of the greatest teams in the history of the game. In four years, he won a club record 14 honors. He has also managed German powerhouses Bayern Munich and became Manchester City manager in 2016.
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
