Texas Terri (born as Terri Laird on April 6, 1955, in Austin, Texas, USA) is an American punk rock singer, songwriter, and actress. She began her music career in Hollywood, California, where she founded the band The Killer Crows in 1984. After their dissolution, she formed Texas Terri & The Stiff Ones, with whom she released the album Eat Shit in 1998. She later changed the band name to Texas Terri Bomb! and released the album Your Lips... My Ass!, produced by Jack Douglas with a guest appearance by Wayne Kramer of MC5. She was often compared to Wendy O. Williams and gained cult status through her energetic and provocative stage performances. In addition to her music career, Texas Terri was also active as an actress and took on various roles in film productions. She appeared in 8mm (1999) as Dino’s Redhead, in Starforce (2000) as Tattooed Woman, and in Hellbent (2004) as Tattoo Shop Woman. Her other film appearances include Shark in a Bottle (1999), I Pass for Human (2004), and Klappe Cowboy! (2012). In 2007, Texas Terri moved to Berlin, Germany, where she remained musically active. She is a defining figure of the underground punk scene and is known for her uncompromising stage presence and unmistakable style.

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.
