Areski Nebti (Arabic: أريسكي نبتي) born on May 5, 1926, in the Belcourt district of Algiers, is an Algerian actor and assistant director.  Arezki Nabti is often spelled Arezki. A major figure on Algerian television and film, he is known for the name of one of his characters, Moh Bab El-Oued, in Abdelkader Bouritina's film El Hozi. From a young age, he was passionate about theater and cinema. He appeared on the radio shows of Mrs. Lafarge, aka L’la Tassadit, who had created a children's program where she trained young talents, girls and boys, mainly from Kabylie. From his school emerged true talents such as Kadri Seghir, Arezki Nabti, Smaïl Si Ahmed, Ahmed Halit, Madjid Bennacer, and Saïd Hilmi.  In 1963, he made his film debut. He went on to star in classic post-independence Algerian films, ranging from dramas to comedies, including Mohamed Slimane Riad's The Way (1967), Tewfik Farès's The Outlaws (1969), Inspector Tahar, The Hanged Man's Inn (1969), Mohamed Slimane Riad's Sanaoud (1972), Mohamed Slimane Riad's The South Wind (1975), Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina's Chronicle of the Years of Embers (1975), Merzak Allouache's Omar Gatlato (1976), and Mahmoud Zemmouri's From Hollywood to Tamanrasset (1990).  Areski Nebti died on April 28, 1994, of a heart attack at the age of 68.

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.
