Ronan Summers

The son of an Irish father and a Russian American mother, Ronan spent much of his early life moving around the world, following his fathers work and his changing family situation. By the time he was three, he had lived in New York, California, Greece, The Republic of Ireland and the UK. After his parents divorce at the age of three, Ronan moved to New York with his mother, where he began his elementary school education. Through out this time Ronan spent most of his school holidays with his father back in Ireland, who was eager that Ronan hold on to his roots there. When Ronan Reached his early teens the situation was reversed, and he began going to school in Ireland and returning to the USA for his holidays. This bi-continental upbringing has given him a unique insight into both American and European ways of life, and has proved invaluable at various stages of his professional career. After school, Ronan was accepted in to the acting degree course at the prestigious Royal Welsh College Of Music And Drama, where he received a 2:1 and graduated in 2004. Next, He moved to London, where he has since worked consistently in the many varied aspects of the acting world, from Television to Feature Films, Shorts to Voice Overs, Performance Capture to Commercials, and both small and large scale theatre. His job has taken him all over the world, and the dual citizenship given to him by his mixed parentage has proved to be one of his greatest assets. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Ronan Summers

The Search Form


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.
