Aaron Ryder is an American film producer. Early in his career, he was an executive producer of Christopher Nolan's Memento (2000) and Richard Kelly's Donnie Darko (2001), and also produced Nolan's The Prestige (2006). Ryder was one of the founding members of FilmNation Entertainment. During his time at FilmNation, he produced Mud (2012), House at the End of the Street (2012), The Founder (2016), Pieces of a Woman (2020), and The Map of Tiny Perfect Things (2021). In 2016, Ryder produced Denis Villeneuve's Arrival, which earned him an Academy Award for Best Picture nomination with Shawn Levy, Dan Levine, and David Linde. In early 2021, Ryder formed Ryder Picture Company, a film and television production company with a first-look-deal with MGM. Ryder's first production under the Ryder Picture Company banner, Bruiser (2022), premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival 2022, and the second feature, Dumb Money, is currently in production.

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.
