In the small provincial town of Mangalița, takes place around Stelian Manole, the mayor of the city for 28 years. Mr. Stelu has won all elections since 1991 with unanimous votes, and is currently making efforts to obtain the eighth consecutive term and thus enter the Book of Records as the longest surviving mayor. Stelu has been through all the parties, he is anointed with all the clubs and he knows all the tricks. He can convince anyone to do anything and has everyone on hand. The life of the inhabitants of Mangalița city is overcome by the political, administrative, loving and loving intrigues of the extremely colorful and comic entourage of the mayor.
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.
