Drs. H. Wahyu Sardono, better known as Dono Warkop (born in Delanggu, Klaten, Central Java, 30 September 1951 - died in Jakarta, 30 December 2001 at the age of 50 years), was an Indonesian actor and comedian with a height of 167 cm. He starred in several comedy film titles in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. He died of lung cancer.  While studying at the University of Indonesia, Jakarta, Dono worked in the editorial section of the newspaper, among others at the Tribune and Salemba, mainly as a caricature. Both print media ceased publication in 1974. Then Dono joined the warung Warung Kopi Prambors group that was established a year earlier. Dono with Casinos, Indro, and Nanu fills the coffee shop Prambors with a coffee shop-style atmosphere on Prambors private radio.  While still a student, Dono is a member of the University of Indonesia Nature Lovers Student Group (Mapala UI) with Casino and Nanu. Therefore, Warkop DKI films show their activities as nature lovers.

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.
