Ally McCoist is undoubtedly one of the most gifted and celebrated players Scotland has ever produced but his appeal now extends far beyond The Game he loves. As his remarkable success with club and country draws to a close the charismatic Ally is now winning thousands of new fans as a TV and now a film star. Football pundit Question Of Sport captain and co-host of his TV chat show Ally has won extravagant praise from legendary Hollywood star Robert Duvall for his film debut in The Cup. It is a tribute to Super Ally's enduring career that this is a programme devoted to his career. Duvall is only one of the big names to pay tribute to one of Scotland's favourite sons - Des Lynam John Parrott Walter Smith and Mark Hateley are among those who have contributed to this latest chapter of the Super Ally story.
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.
