Runtime: 240
The 2006 Paris-Roubaix turned out to be quite memorable. The race came one week after the Tour of Flanders, with World Champion Tom Boonen riding high on his victory. George Hincapie also had a strong finish on the podium in Flanders, and came to Paris-Roubaix in top-notch form with a killer drive to win and a strong team to support him. Hincapie has wanted to add a win at Paris-Roubaix to his palmares for years, but things don't always turn out though. Hincapie's race ended up being very memorable, but unfortunately not in the way he wanted it to. The field was both strong and deep. Apart from Boonen and Hincapie, other strong riders including Peter Van Petegem (Davitamon), Fabian Cancellara (CSC), Juan Antonio Flecha (Rabobank), Steffen Wesemann (T-Mobile) animate the action.
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.
