The 13th June of 1929, three French pilots, with a clandestine passenger on board, jump from the Old Orchard beach in Maine (USA) into the risky crossing of the Atlantic. After 30 flying hours and a minimum of fuel, they are forced to land in a beach of the north of Spain. Two days later, they continue their trip to Paris where they are welcomed as heroes. They become the first crew having crossed the Atlantic and the first one to unite North America and Spain. This is The Adventure of the Yellow Bird.
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.
