Overview from TheMovieDB

Dani Tomás (Berto Romero) is a television screenwriter disillusioned and bored of his work. One day he receives unexpected news: for a legal error he must repeat eighth grade. Now, he returns to a world he already thought he had forgotten, living new experiences and experiencing a multitude of unexplained situations and hilarious events. But he will not be alone in this epic adventure, because he will have the help of the peculiar director of the school (Carlos Areces), a police officer (Antonio de la Torre, May God forgive us) and an enigmatic classmate (Carolina Bang).

Overview from Open Movies

The star of SOMETHING HUGE, Berto Romero, after years of success in film & TV wants toexplore 'a new shape of comedy': the comedy of the future. In parallel, Carlo Padial, directorof experimental films & documentaries, is exploring a new comedy route - both will meetunder casual circumstances.SOMETHING HUGE is the hilariously moving and inspiring journey of a comedian (BertoRomero) and an indie film director (Carlo Padial) who decide to create 'the biggest, mostforthcoming and futuristic comedy ever made in Spain'. The project, named SOMETHINGHUGE, will need a big team, healthy production and many special effects. They both havethe best intentions to make it work, nevertheless they will run into complications that willmake it difficult for them to wrap 'the biggest futuristic comedy in the history of Spanishcinema'.They will soon realise that not only do they not have enough resources to finish the film butthat neither themselves (nor anyone in the crew) really know what the film is actually about.The film, shot in mockumentary style, follows Berto Romero through the preparation andfilming process of the futuristic comedy, full of special effects and showing all the technicalhurdles as well his human side - both as a comedian and as a person.Is SOMETHING HUGE the seed of a masterpiece, mysterious and oddly fun or is it thegreatest most expensive spoof in history? SOMETHING HUGE is the story of a dream. Astory of underdogs, naivety, caos, chromas, visual effects, craziness and a lot of banter andteasing. So much banter it will make you cry.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
