Biography from TheMovieDB

Dave Scott danced his way "straight outta Compton" and straight into Hollywood and a multi-faceted career in dance, choreography, and artist development spanning music, film, television, and commercials.  He has been filming several projects for both film and television this year, including; Mindless Behavior on Ellen and So You think You Can Dance . Dave also lends his voice and moves to The Black Eyed Pea Experience for Kinect on Xbox, and The Hip Hop Dance Experience now in stores. In theaters Fall of 2013, Battle of the Year: Dreamteam will be the first ever world wide release of an all b-boy film, which he is co-producer/choreographer.  You can also see Dave's moves on the big screen in the 3D phenomenon- Step Up 3D (which he received the award for Best Choreography in a feature film at the World of Dance awards) and the romantic comedy Maid of Honor. Dave has also been featured on Dancing with the Stars and has hosted hit MTV show Countdown to American's Best Dance Crew. Other theatrical credits include Dance Flick, Stomp the Yard, You Got Served (which garnered him the 10th Annual Choreography Award for Best Choreography in a Feature) and Step Up 2 (for which he won the Fred Astaire Award) In addition; Scott was the key ingredient behind the success of B2K, giving them their name, style, hot dance moves, and all out sex appeal. In just two years, B2K scored two platinum albums; and headlined sold-out tours nationwide.  Scott has molded and shaped the images and careers of many other hot artists and actors, including the newest boys group Mindless Behavior, Tyrese, Channing Tatum from Step Up 2, Columbus Short from Stomp the Yard and the musically renowned Brian McKnight, allowing them to reach new and unexpected heights in their careers.  Scott has lent his talents to several commercial campaigns including Chevy and Pantene, the Fox TV success Bones, and choreographed dance sequences in 2004's Coach Carter starring Samuel Jackson.  Scott has graced the covers of virtually every industry publication including Dance Spirit and Arena Magazine, as well as features in LA Times West Magazine, King, Vibe, and Grip, and has performed at nearly every major award show. Scott continues to teach master classes in dance nationwide, and to inspire kids and adults of all ages. IMDb Mini Biography

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.
