Jimmy Gideon was an Indonesian actor, comedian, and radio announcer. Jimmy is the younger brother of comedian Ogud Tomtam of the Tomtam Group. He became famous after starring in the comedy soap opera "Gara-Gara with Lydia Kandou" in the 1990s. Jimmy Gideon is part of the Gideon comedy group with Sion Gideon and Habil Gideon. The name Jimmy himself comes from his childhood nickname because when he was little his face resembled the 39th US President, Jimmy Carter. Meanwhile, the name Gideon itself comes from the abbreviation of the names of Gideon group's founders, namely Ginanjar, Derry, and Sion. The three of them were the original members and founders of this comedy group when it was first founded in the 1990s. Jimmy Gideon passed away on 26 December 2021 and was buried the next day at TPU Bojong Nangka, Tangerang Regency.

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.
