Tất Bình (full name Đặng Tất Bình, b. 16 August 1949 in Hanoi) is a Vietnamese actor and director, and the former director of the Feature Film Studio 1. Before starting his career in film, he worked as a theater actor and a voice actor. Tất Bình began gaining recognition through his first role onscreen, as inspector Phương in the film "The Last Hope" (Hy vọng cuối cùng, d. Trần Phương, 1981). He later co-directed with Trần Phương in the film "One Who Looks for a Forgotten past" (Người đi tìm dĩ vãng, 1992); then went on to direct the TV feature "The Notebook of Life" (Cuốn sổ ghi đời, 1994). In 1998, he made "Moon on Foreign Land" (Trăng trên đất khách), a Vietnamese-Russian co-production and the first Vietnamese film to focus on people working and living far from their home country. In 2002, Tất Bình released "The Backstage Slap" (Cái tát sau cánh gà), which became one of the two Vietnamese entries into the 47th Asia-Pacific Film Festival. He continues to act and direct in the years following.

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.
