Jorge Vargas (Aguascalientes, June 25, 1941 - Mexico City, November 2, 2009) was a Mexican actor.  Jorge Vargas was a great actor and Mexican singer, a man with an unparalleled personality, who was often in the eye of the hurricane, when it comes to his personal life.  His career began in 1966 in the telenovela "Más fuerte que tu amor", followed by "La sonrisa del diablo", Jorge worked in great productions of success like the telenovelas "Corazón salvaje" in his second version of 1977, Maria Isabel in 1997 having a prominent role in the plot, Mi destino eres tú in 2000 and Amor real 2003. These were just some of the various telenovelas of his career, his last one was Destilando amor, alongside the actors Angélica Rivera and Eduardo Yáñez.  He also made history in the seventh art, acting in the films "Por un cuñado de tierra", "Tequila y mezcal", "Tres fronteras", "Matar a morir", "El secuestro del pollo", among other Mexican films.  Jorge was an artist in every sense of the word. He also participated in the theater, all the pieces that he acted were in poster for long seasons in the Mexican theaters, and in the United States. Certainly one of his major influences was his uncle the great producer of Mexican telenovelas Ernesto Alonso, who was popularly known as "The Lord Soap Opera".  From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
