N/A
Runtime: 140
In the days of Jim Crockett Promotions, 1986 was a standout year, seeing record gates, a record Starrcade, and a healthy roster of huge stars. Flair, Dusty, Magnum, Nikita, The Midnight Express, The Four Horsemen, and our guests for this edition of Timeline: The History of WCW were fanning the flames for JCP. Join Ricky and Robert, the Rock n Roll Express, and head back to what were truly glory days for what would become WCW. The duo detail everything you’d want to know about the road, the roster, the women, and the tag titles. It was the best of times for the RnR, despite the revelation here of repeated efforts of a certain charismatic booker to break up the team and bury the two guys he was sharing the babyface spotlight with. It’s all here…in 1986!
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.
