Take a trip to Detroit to watch history in the making as the Pittsburgh Steelers realize a dream twenty-six years in the making and the whole world watches with baited breath. From Jerome Bettis' spectacular 101-yard-dash that secured the team's victory over the NFC North Champion Chicago Bears to the pulse-stopping "Immaculate Reception" that carved a direct path to the biggest game in the nation, this is the story of one team's indomitable spirit and unlikely quest to become the first sixth seed in NFL history to defeat the Seattle Seahawks and take home the top prize. With highlights from the Steelers' regular season, behind-the-scenes footage, half-time footage, and all the pre and post-game coverage that fans could hope for, this release offers over three hours of Bettis and the Steelers as they make their way to victory in the Motor City.
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.
