Simón Wilson

Simón Wilson is an award winning Los Angeles based film and television composer. After studying under Theodore Shapiro and working on major studio productions, he has gone on to score documentaries such as Rhino Man and Momentum, write additional music for Netflix's Delhi Crime and Disney's The Mysterious Benedict Society, and score the NBC special Celebrity Escape Room. He also regularly contributes music to Hans Zimmer's Bleeding Fingers and Extreme Music catalog. Simón holds the Best Music award at LA's 48 Hour Film Festival for four years in a row, and some of his latest music can be heard in National Geographic's UFO's: Investigating The Unknown and Paramount's new reality show The Family Stallone. He is now working alongside Craig Wedren - the composer of Showtime's latest audacious drama, Yellowjackets.  Simón is a multi-instrumentalist as well as a classically trained singer. His compositions draw on a broad palette of musical influences - from cinematic orchestral music, to psychedelic electronic scores, to guitar-driven funky jams. His gift of precision tied to a relentless work ethic ascend his love for music into an elaborate and eccentric career. The end goal is to always tell a story with compelling, evocative, and original sound.

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.
