A unique film project for all football fans. Jozef Vengloš has coached on three continents, holds the prestigious FIFA Ruby Order award and was the first foreign manager to work in the English league. Jozef Vengloš has finally received the honour he deserves. The film documentary Joe the First pays respect, reverence and gratitude to the exceptional coach for everything he has done for Slovak, Czechoslovak and European football. The film features football legends Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger, José Mourinho, Roy Hodgson and UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin. The Czechoslovakian legends recall his refinement, achievements and humanity and admit that he was ahead of his time. The documentary makers focused on the almost forgotten fact that he was the first foreign coach in the cradle of football, as he accepted the challenge of being manager of Aston Villa FC.

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.
