Koichi Kuwagata (Ryuta Sato) is an associate professor for literature at a third rate university. He has lived a dull life up this point and now decides to live a stylish life and, in the process, takes on difficult to solve cases in and out of the university. Unable to solve the cases by himself, Koichi Kuwagata relies on the help of homeless female student Hitomi Kanno (Nanami Sakuraba) with her excellant reasoning abilities. Meanwhile, Professor Koichi Kuwagata uses his own delusional skills and can understand the thoughts of the criminals. A professor falls from a window at the university. Rumors swirl among the students that in the room where the professor fell, a strange incident called "April Ghost" took place. The night that the professor fell, the temperature was unseasonably cold and it snowed. Dean of the university Tsuyako Kujiratani (Mitsuko Baisho) asks Koichi to figure out what the "April Ghost" is.

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.
