Biography from TheMovieDB

Andy Raether is an American rock climber. A very active route setter, climbing since 1998, Andy has completed nearly a thousand first ascents of boulders and routes up to V13 and 5.15 and 5.13 multi-terrain in Zion.  In 2017 Andy Raether does his second FA 9a, Manphibian at Mt Charleston which is an extension of the unrehearsed Spyfiction 8c+ from 2012. This route took around 7 months working on that alone and now he has added four months for the 9a extension . In total, Andy, without sponsors, set up some 300 routes and 600 blocks. Interestingly, the most difficult grades he has repeated are 8c and the last was five years ago. "Honestly, I climb a lot harder on my own routes. For me, I really like all the hard work of bolting, cleaning and sequencing a new line. I'm usually less intrigued by other people's work. Also , I don't have any grants for rock climbing trips. Recently I started bolting on some completely new rocks that previously had no route."  The rest of the time, Andy Raether is dedicated to his resin climbing holds company Menagerie Climbing.

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.

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.
