Alia Marie "Lia" Shelesh (born: October 22, 1992), better known online as SSSniperWolf (also known as Little Lia), is an English-American YouTuber and actress, known for her reaction, commentary, DIY videos, vlogs and gaming videos. She is also known for her collaborations with Dhar Mann.  Alia Marie Shelesh was born on October 22, 1992 to a Greek father and a Turkish mother in Liverpool, England, United Kingdom. She has two younger brothers and one younger sister. She could speak Arabic fluently when she was younger. Her family moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the United States when she was six years old. When she was 8 years old, her dad bought Alia and her brother a PS1. Lia revealed that she never had a positive relationship with her dad.  Alia graduated High School early, and got a head-start in College, and studied both Pharmacy and Nursing. She later dropped out of College early. Alia started working in Hollister where she was paid minimum wage. She quit after being agitated by her rude manager. She first met Sausage on YouTube, later meeting him at Comic-Con in person.  Her username, SSSniperWolf, comes from Sniper Wolf, is one of the main antagonists and bosses of Metal Gear Solid, It was her favorite game as a kid too. Alia claims that the 'SS' in her name does not mean anything.  Alia originally started her YouTube career in early 2011 on a channel called sexysexysniper making short vlogs. The channel accumulated 50,000 subscribers until 2 years later however when she made a new channel on January 19, 2013, and deleted the old one around mid-2013 most likely due to the name. Since 2017, the majority of the videos that she uploads are reactions and TikTok videos, along with occasional gaming and challenges. From 2020 onwards, she regularly made it to the Trending Page, gaining her intense popularity.  Alia is also known to appear in Dhar Mann's videos as herself. In the videos she is the idol of Sam/Psycho Mantis (played by Sofia Chicorelli Serna), a girl who wants to be a gamer just like her, despite her sexist mother not allowing her. However after Alia gives her a PS5, she becomes a professional gamer and earns a lot of fame and money, and her mother discards her sexist beliefs. This in itself brings more issues such as a bully targeting her due to her fame, but she earns his friendship by paying for his rent and car. "Sam" and SSSniperWolf appear in more miscellaneous videos, though with minor roles.

The Search Form


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.
