Overview from TheMovieDB

It's the Summer of 2014 and in between football games with her brothers, Farida studies on her rooftop. From her perch, she sees the first tracer fire. Her father, an optimistic veteran of the Iraqi Army quells concerns. They are safe. They've always been safe. Then everything changes. On August 3rd, 2014, ISIS arrives. In one day, they slaughter thousands of men and boys, and sell the girls and their mothers into slavery. Farida and her family cannot escape. Farida wakes in a school bus full of her classmates. The only light she can see is Evin- her best friend asleep beside her. From their first moments of captivity, Farida is desperate to escape while Evin fears Farida's reckless rebellion will get them killed. Inside a warehouse full of girls shackled like cattle, Farida stares down an interested buyer. He looks her over, then shoves his fingers into her mouth to inspects her teeth. She snaps.

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.
