Junaid Jamshed Khan (September 3, 1964 – December 7, 2016) was a Pakistani singer-songwriter turned preacher, TV personality and fashion designer. He gained nationwide fame for his sweet voice as the vocalist of the 1980s rock band Vital Signs. However, he later came to frown upon his music career and became solely focused on religious activities. He began reciting nasheeds and preached Islamic teachings internationally. He also started his own boutique with the name J. (Jay Dot). He passed away from a plane crash, when he was returning from a sermon and was posthumously nominated for the Sitara-i-Imtiaz, the nation's third highest civilian honour.
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.
