Overview from TheMovieDB

Leni is young woman haunted by memories of her past - her parent's death, her abusive ex-boyfriend - and tormented by nightmares that add to her mounting anxiety. Is the monster that stalks her real, or just a manifestation of her mental pain? And how entwined in the truth behind her own madness is Leni?

Overview from Open Movies

Leni is crying. She's surrounded by broken things in the aftermath of a fight. She weeps in anger, letting out all of her despair. But her cries turn to screams and her screams into darkness. Now under the night sky and winter's bony trees she gasps as she's dragged into a hole and buried alive. Leni wakes up in fright from her recurring nightmare only to face the same scene over and over; the house she inherited from terrible parents and boxes of her ex's belongings still around. Exhausted from the lack of sleep she becomes increasingly paranoid, Leni feels stalked by someone or something. It's as if her nightmares have crept into her waking hours eroding her ability to discern what's real from what's not. It's in this context that Leni tries to regain control of her life and sanity; she starts a new relationship, gets the books in order for the business she used to share with her ex, and trains her body to defend itself if her violent past comes back. But her momentum gets interrupted when someone breaks into her home. She finds her ex's things are gone and she feels his presence closer than ever. With real danger closing in on her and the nightmares piercing into her reality, Leni must confront her darkest memories and battle her monsters, both real and perceived.

About the Movie Section

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:

  • I added "runners up" to Top 10 lists, treating them as ties where applicable and numbering them accordingly at the bottom of each list.
  • Regarding those polls wherein "franchise" movies were submitted as one project until BFI's policy changed to regard them separately, I treated them as ties and renumbered the affected lists accordingly (e.g. the Godfather films).

Regarding profile removals and data corrections:

  • If you would like your profile removed from this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's gone from their site, it should soon be gone from this site.
  • If you would like to correct movie data on this site, please contact the source of this data directly, TheMovieDB. My assumption is: once it's corrected on their site, it should soon be corrected on this site.
  • For additional corrections and profile removals, please e-mail The Open Movie Database (OMDb).

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.
