Get a truly wild point of view as you enter the secret world of ferocious predators. Witness never before seen perspectives as Crittercam, National Geographic's revolutionary camera technology, goes where no human is safe. Crash through the bush with Alaska Grizzly Bears, swim alongside 16 massive humpback whales, hunt in the African plains with the lion that bounds after its zebra prey, and sneak a peek into the elusive life of an ordinary household cat. With cameras strapped on their backs, these animals are uninhibited and natural in their private behaviours.
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.
