A trip through the BBC archives for this chance to ‘Shout’ about one of the greatest, best-loved and most enduring entertainers – Lulu. This collection of her most popular hits, covers and classics features magic moments from the 1960s right up to recent years and performances on a huge range of shows, including her own multiple series and TV specials that were a hallmark of the BBC’s light entertainment schedules. This compilation also sees Lulu duetting with a variety of big name singers, including Neil Diamond, Bill Withers, Shirley Bassey and Al Green, and features iconic songs like To Sir with Love, The Man with the Golden Gun and the Bowie-penned The Man Who Sold the World.
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:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
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.
