Overview from TheMovieDB

An academic and cynical sophisticated detective drama that can teach you about Adlerian psychology. Ranko Ando is a single female detective with no boyfriend. She is an ace who has taken the lead in solving many difficult cases at the young age of 32. However, she's also a lone wolf who doesn't listen to the opinions of those around her, and always does what she believes to be right. However, Ranko is partnered with Toshio Aoyama, who has just gotten his wish of being transferred to the 1st Investigation Department. Toshio is the polar opposite of Ranko, and tends to be too concerned about what others think. This makes him harshly oppose the way she thinks. But as he works with her, he learns Adlerian psychology and develops one step at a time. This daring detective drama is a live-action adaptation of the Asian bestseller, "The Courage to Be Hated". Through the life of Ranko Ando, "The World's Most Hated Female Detective", this drama questions the necessity of "The courage to be free and happy".

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.
