These were the European Cup matches everyone wanted to - the Champions of Scotland versus the Champions of England - the Battle of Britain! Now you can relive over and over again Leeds' stunning opening goal at Ibrox which was superbly overturned twice as Rangers and over 40,000 fanatical supporters roared into the English Champions. Even that superb night, however, was surpassed as Rangers went on to produce their finest 90 minutes to break the hearts of Leeds United. All the magic of that evening from Hateley's devastating opener to Ally's fantastic header for the second goal is captured forever. This specially packaged 60-minute film features all the highlights plus exclusive interviews with players and manager Walter Smith. Adding to the pleasure is the English television commentary which refuses to believe that the pride of England is out of Europe.
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.
