Biography from TheMovieDB

Saara Chaudry is a Canadian actress, character designer, dancer and singer that began her career with small parts in TV productions such as Degrassi: The Next Generation (2001), Combat Hospital (2011), Desperately Seeking Santa (2011) and Isabelle Dances Into the Spotlight (2014).  As a 3-year old girl, she loved creating the concepts of characters what revealed to be Karen Chau's amazing idea for the show called Ni Hao, Kai-Lan (2007).  Saara made her theatre debut as Little Cosette in the 25th anniversary Mirvish Production of Les Miserables at the Princess of Wales theatre. She had the honor of performing the role on opening night and at a special gala benefit with Colm Wilkinson. She won a 2014 Broadway World Award for best female performer in a featured role, was nominated for a Young Artists Award for best theatre performance and was also nominated for a Dora Award as a member of the Les Miserables ensemble.  After her theatre run, Saara returned to television where she played the role of Howie on Nickelodeon's Max & Shred (2014), and guest starred on PBS Kids Odd Squad (2014). Saara just completed filming on season 4 of Sinking Ship's Emmy and Canadian Screen nominated Dino Dana (2017) as Saara, Dana's older sister, and is looking forward to filming the Dino Dana Movie this summer. Saara is currently filming on Universal Kids/Hulu's new tween series Holly Hobbie (2018), where she plays Amy, Holly's best friend.  Saara has also worked on several animated projects and was honored to be nominated for a 2017 Canadian Screen Award for her role as Clara in the Canadian Screen Award winner The Curse of Clara: A Holiday Tale (2015). She is thrilled to be the voice of Parvana in the Oscar, Golden Globe and Canadian Screen Award nominated feature film, The Breadwinner (2017), based on the novel by one of her favorite authors, Deborah Ellis, for which she most recently won the ACTRA award for best voice performance. She is currently working on the animated series, Charlie's Colorforms City (2019), and is excited to be the voice of Carmen in Let's Go Luna! (2018).  When not filming, Saara enjoys going to school, singing with her girl band Girl-Powr and being an advocate for gender equality and girls education.

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.
