Jason Patel

Rising star as both an actor and musical artist, Jason Patel, makes his silver screen debut as a leading role in UNICORNS, a highly anticipated independent feature film alongside Ben Hardy (LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT, BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY, X-MEN: APOCALYPSE) with a theatrical release this 5th July and later available on streaming.  Directed by Sally El Hosaini (THE SWIMMERS) & James Krishna Floyd, the film’s premiere at TIFF23 & BFI LFF placed Patel on several Best Performers lists, with UNICORNS also winning Best of Fest at Palm Springs and BFI Flare.  A graduate from Rose Bruford College, Jason first began on stage with credits including ‘Mowgli’ in THE JUNGLE BOOK and ‘Tinkerbell’ in PETER PAN while growing a prominent music career with singles such as One Last Dance, 6iX, and most recently Choclafied. Patel also wrote and performed music for UNICORNS, which will be featured on his upcoming EP ‘Delicious’ set to release later this year.  His artistry has led to multiple accolades including BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Week and PinkNews naming Jason as one of the Trailblazing Artists of 2023 alongside Ncuti Gatwa and many more.  Elsewhere, Jason will also be seen on BBC’s limited crime drama titled VIRDEE starring Staz Nair, directed by Mark Tonderai and produced by Stella Nwimo.

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.
