Biography from TheMovieDB

OLLIE WRIDE, is an English singer/songwriter fusing innovative elements of modern alternativepop with the nostalgic hallmarks of synth-pop. The artist found a platform to hone his unique blend of songwriting and showmanship working with San Francisco based producer FM-84, penning some of synth-wave’s most popular tracks including "Running in The Night" and "Never Stop", leading to 2 North American sold out tours in 2018 and 2019. Following this popular collaboration, provided an opportunity for Wride to explore a more personal approach utilising his melodic sensibilities and character driven lyrics, quickly attracting a new audience with the release of his debut solo album, "Thanks in Advance” on NRW Records. Widely praised by fans, the album became their fastest selling debut record to date, charting on Billboards Top 10 Electronic charts as well as iTunes' Electronic charts. It also enjoyed critical accolades; NewRetroWave named the debut record number one on their list of the Top 10 Albums of 2019. Culminating in 2 sold out headline shows either side of the pandemic in London at Camden Assembly in 2019 and Lafayette in 2021. 2020 saw the release of the deluxe repress, featuring the cult hit “Stranger Love” that was featured on Netflix: To The Beat! Back 2 School and Channel 4: Made in Chelsea. In 2021 during the midst of the pandemic, served to catalyse Wride’s creative output, producing a one off world wide live stream concert in partnership with Moment House, Directed by concert cinematographer Steve Price (Queen, Tame Impala) culminating in a vinyl pressing of the concert entitled “Once In A Lifetime” featuring the latest single the euphorically optimistic - “A Matter of Time”. Having licensed his debut album to Amuse distribution, Wride is currently working on his highly anticipated second album with renowned producers / writers including: Chris Zane (St. Lucia, Passion Pit) Arcades (BTS, Big Hit) James F. Reynolds (Sigrid, Dua Lipa) and Adam Sinclair (RJ Thompson)

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.
