Best Of The Videos' was released in October 2004 to accompany the album 'Best Of Def Leppard' which was released on the same day. The third long form DVD release from the band. It contains 32 videos in all, including the three hidden bonus clips. These are available at the start of videos 8, 22 and 23 if the DVD is played from the start. A Def Leppard pyrite font "D" appears in the top right of the screen as these videos begin. By pressing ENTER you start the bonus version. A mistake meant the bonus for "Slang" plays as track 8, the normal version is the hidden one. The cover was the same as the album artwork. The inner booklet and CD also had a similar design. The sound on the 1984 'BOTH' video is from 1981.
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.
