Contribute

There's a lot of movies in the world, so the one you're looking for might be missing. If you'd like to see a movie added to the site, please contribute.

Guidelines

Any movie can be added if it follows these rules:

• The two (or more) actors play actual love interests (not just friends, coworkers, or some other non-romantic type of relationship)
• The youngest of the two actors is at least 17 years old
• Not animated characters

Please include the release year for the movie and each actor's birthdate.

Actor and movie data are stored in JSON files.

Add actors

First check to see if the actors you are referencing are in data/actors.

If you need to add an actor, create a .json file with the actor's first and last name, gender (man/woman), and birthday (YYYY-MM-DD):

{
  "name": "Jane Doe",
  "gender": "woman",
  "born": "1975-12-30"
}

Name the file with the actor's name, using underscores between words or in place of hyphens (all lowercase): jane_doe.json and save it to data/actors.

Add movies

Create the movie .json file in data/movies with the movie title, year released, director, and actor names:

{
    "name": "A Great Movie",
    "year": 2016,
    "director": "Sally Jones",
    "relationships": [
        ["John Smith", "Jane Doe"]
    ]
}

Name the file with the movie title and year, using underscores between words or in place of hyphens (all lowercase): a_great_movie_2016.json and save it to data/movies.

If a movie has more than one couple, you can add those in the same movie file.

    "relationships": [
        ["John Smith", "Jane Doe"],
        ["George Glass", "Sarah Connor"]
    ]

If the relationship is a man/woman couple, please put the man's name first. If it's a same-gender couple, any order is fine.
