Biography from TheMovieDB

Christian Lindberg’s achievements for the trombone can only be compared   with those of Paganini for the violin or Liszt for the piano. Having   premièred over 300 works for the trombone (including more than 30   composed by Christian himself), recorded over 70 solo CD’s, and having   an international solo competition created in his name in Valencia,   Spain, Christian Lindberg is today nothing less than a living legend. At an early stage of his career he joined Yo Yo Ma and Gidon Kremer as   the BBC Music Magazine’s soloist of the year. In 2000, together with   Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis, he was voted by an international poll   the greatest brass players of the 20th century. He was the first Swedish   instrumentalist ever to be invited to perform as soloist with the   Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. In   2007 he was artist in residence at the Musikverein in Vienna – the   ‘stronghold’ of traditional classical music. Christian Lindberg has   worked with practically every major orchestra and conductor in the world   today. For a trombonist to achieve all this before turning 50 is, to   say the least, remarkable. Gradually Christian Lindberg has also embarked on two new successful   careers as conductor and composer. ( Read more about this on Christian   Lindberg’s conductor and composer biographies on this website ) Today   Christian Lindberg almost exclusively appears as a soloist in programmes   where he conducts himself.  His future schedule contains only a few   exclusive soloistic collaborations such as with the Concertgebouw   Orchestra in Amsterdam. He now combines his position as chief conductor of the Arctic Symphony   Orchestra with guest conducting the foremost international orchestras   and working on composition commissions from international orchestras,   ensembles and instrumentalists in combination with his activities as an   instrumentalist. Parallel with all these activities, Christian Lindberg makes sure he   can devote some valuable leisure time with his family at their country   residence on a peninsula of the beautiful Stockholm Archipelago.

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.
