Biography from TheMovieDB

Savannah (born Shannon Wilsey) was an American porn star and rock groupie, having relationships and flings with a number of notable rock stars, actors, and comedians, including Gregg Allman, Billy Idol, Vince Neil, David Lee Roth, Billy Sheehan, Pauly Shore, Slash, and Mark Wahlberg.  Savannah started her porn career in 1990 and quickly shot to superstar status, soon being signed to Vivid Video as one of the earliest Vivid contract girls. Though earning considerable money via Vivid, endorsement deals, and other avenues, Savannah's drug use and other spending got out of control, affecting her work and resulting in the loss of her Vivid contract in 1993. She continued working for smaller studios and also for low-budget Hollywood productions under her birth name, but her lifestyle continued to be chaotic, and her relationship with Jeanna Fine ended after 2 years being on-and-off. On July 11, 1994, after crashing her Corvette, where the accident broke her nose and scratched her face the day before she was to film her next project, Savannah committed suicide via self-inflicted gunshot. She died in the hospital that evening with her father and boyfriend Pauly Shore at her side. She was 24 years old.

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.
