In 2014 Formula 1 introduces one of the biggest technical changes in the history of the competition, the new V6 Turbo engines. From now cars will be hybrid, combining combustion and electrical energy in the power train. The team which did the best job, adapting their cars to the new regulations was Mercedes. Both drivers of the team, Nico Rosberg and Lewis Hamilton are the only drivers with chances to win the 2014 Formula 1 championship. Both are friends since many years, when they were childrens, but now they have to fight on track every race to conquer the glory in Formula 1. This is the story of a new rivalry between old friends: Lewis Hamilton vs Nico Rosberg. This the origin of The Silver War.
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.
