Biography from TheMovieDB

Matthew Taylor is an American artist and technologist who works in film, sculpture, photography, written mediums and performance. Taylor has spent his life struggling with the term "artist" as his interests span a number of industries including data analysis, documentary filmmaking, and city planning, among others. While most would consider Matthew a filmmaker based on the primary medium he chooses to manifest his ideas, he considers himself a sculptor based on the broad definition he prefers.  Moving from his classical training in painting, drawing, art history and theory, Taylor moved into filmmaking in the late 90's while still in art school. Starting with short concept films, digital installations, music videos and fashion films, Taylor eventually started making documentaries. Coming full circle, Matthew directed "Marcel Duchamp: The Art of The Possible", a feature length documentary on the life and work of Marcel Duchamp, exploring the critical underpinnings of art in the 20th and 21st centuries. After nearly 150 short films, fashion works, ballet and dance pieces, Taylor has recently returned to his fine arts background with a series of new sculpture works due in the near future.

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.
