A Century of the F.A. Cup details 100 years of the most famous football competition in the world. From its humble beginnings in 1871/1872 when only 15 clubs took part, the Cup has thrown up legendary players from the mightiest times to the killing minnows. A Century of the F.A. Cup takes you on a trip down memory lane, from the turn of the century with its black and white images; we recall the first Wembley final in 1923 with the unforgettable scene of two hundred thousand people crowding the pitch and having to be cleared by the famous white horse. The star players, the greatest teams, the giant killers, are all here in this fantastic double video.
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.
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.
