Vivien Taylor is a British actress who is no stranger to a film set, theatre or voiceover booth.  Born in Glasgow, Scotland Vivien often acts as the 'Scottish Lass' but has also played English and American characters over the years.  ​Vivien prides herself on being a versatile performer and loves exploring roles from princesses, to drug addicts to blonde bimbos to police officers! ​2018 was off to a great start when Vivien was nominated as Best Lead Actress in the Amsterdam International Filmmaker Festival and the Madrid International Film Festival for her portrayal as Jennifer in UK feature film TRAIN SET.  Other highlights were as drug addict Sheena in Wayne Thallon's dark comedy feature film A Spanking in Paradise (2010) which along with The Dunwich Horror (2010) (in which Vivien played Lavinia Whateley) gained 'Best of the Fest' at the 64th Edinburgh International Film Festival. After showing how physically versatile Vivien was whilst appearing as a host of characters in CBBC's Hedz (2007), she was cast as the grotesque zombie matron in Outpost: Black Sun (2012), and appeared as the same character in pre-zombie form the following year in the prequel, Outpost: Rise of the Spetsnaz (2013) which was shown at the Edinburgh International Film Festival. Vivien has also provided many of the voices in CBBC's OOglies.

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.
