Michael McGlone is an American actor, singer and songwriter. He is perhaps best known as the film noiresque spokesman for GEICO insurance posing rhetorical questions in the vein of Robert Stack or Rod Serling, which are then acted out in humorous fashion.  McGlone's best-known film credits include two castings as actor Edward Burns's brother in 1995's "The Brothers McMullen" and 1996's "She's the One" (opposite Jennifer Aniston). He has also had large supporting roles in the 1998 crime film "One Tough Cop" opposite Stephen Baldwin and Chris Penn, and the 1999 thriller "The Bone Collector" which starred Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.  On television, McGlone's credits include "Crash" on the StarzNetwork and "The Kill Point" on the cable channel Spike TV. Voice-over credits include TLC's "Trauma: Life in the E.R.", Court TV's "I, Detective", and The History Channel series "Dead Reckoning." He has also acted on stage. His writing credits include the novels "And All the Roses Dying...", "Dice", and "Hourigan's Song". He has recorded and produced two albums, Hero (1999) and To Be Down (2002).  Description above from the Wikipedia article Mike McGlone, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia

The Search Form


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.
