Zhou Senguan was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu in 1920. In his early years, he worked as an apprentice in Changzhou Minfeng Spinning Mill. In the early years of the War of Resistance Against Japan, he successively served in the National Government Military Committee's wartime cadre training corps and the National Government Military Committee's civilian inspection and guidance corps. In the early 1940s, he first worked as an actor in the Zhejiang Provincial Theater Company, then in the Taxation Office of the Ministry of Finance of the National Government, and also served as the tax director. He came to Nanjing in 1947 and served as the chief dispatching officer of Capital Automobile Company. In 1949, he was re-designated as the head of car service of Beijing Automobile Company. In 1951, he was admitted to the Performing Arts Class of the Performing Arts Institute of the Central Film Bureau (formerly known as the Beijing Film Academy). After graduating in 1954, he was assigned to Beijing Film Studio as an actor. The first film to be filmed was a single peasant in the Shanghai feature film "A Storm", fell in love with Li Fuyu played by Shu Xiuwen, and finally broke through the feudal law. The roles played in the future are almost all supporting roles. There are about 30 movies with famous names, mainly including "Summer Story" Wang Dacheng, "National Day Ten O'clock" Zhang Dali, "Plain Guerrilla" Kangou Old Man, "Honghu Red Guard" Beard Dad, "Storm Storm" Liu Deshan. He died in 1994.

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.
