Biography from TheMovieDB

Pham Trong Cau (1935-1998) was a famous Vietnamese musician, the author of the song "Autumn does not return" (Mùa thu không trở lại) and the children's song "For You" (Cho Con). He also has the pen name Phạm Trọng, which he used in the South before 1975. His compositions are often pure, emotional and easy to sing along. Although he studied at the Paris Conservatory, his musical legacy has no instrumental works but up to over 200 songs mainly written for both adults and children. After 1975, Phạm Trọng Cầu returned to work at the Ho Chi Minh City Arts and Culture Association, and was a member of the Music Association. Since 1976, he joined some other Vietnamese musicians such as Trịnh Công Sơn, Trần Long Ẩn, Miên Đức Thắng, Hoàng Hiệp, Nguyễn Ngọc Thiện, Trương Thìn,... to establish a group introducing new compositions at the Patriots' Fair, the first organization of its kind in Ho Chi Minh City after 1975.

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.

Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
