Tom Kristensen, born on July 7, 1967, in Hobro, Denmark, is a legendary Danish racing driver, widely regarded as one of the greatest endurance drivers in motorsport history. He is best known for his record-breaking nine victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, earning him the title "Mr. Le Mans." Kristensen's first Le Mans win came in 1997 with Porsche, and he went on to achieve his historic record primarily with Audi, including an impressive streak of six consecutive wins from 2000 to 2005. Beyond Le Mans, Kristensen enjoyed success in other racing series, including the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Known for his skill, consistency, and reliability under intense conditions, he became a respected and admired figure in endurance racing. After retiring from professional racing in 2014, Kristensen remained active in the motorsport community, serving as an ambassador and sharing his experience with fans and aspiring drivers. His legacy as a record-holder and a symbol of endurance racing excellence continues to inspire new generations.
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.
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.
