Biography from TheMovieDB

Bai Mei loved the art of Peking opera since childhood. In 1938 she joined Peiping North China Film Company as an actress. She has starred in films such as "Friends from afar", "Yiyuan Lovers", "Dream Dream", "Showgirls Hate", "The Mole Beauty" and "Tuberon Jade", which have created many female images with different personalities. With the reputation of "perfect beauty", she and Wang Fuchun are the most enviable pair in the "Man Ying" pedigree. After the restoration of Tohoku, he participated in the Northeast Film Company, and followed Wang Fuchun to Peiping. Joined the Northeast Film Studio in 1953 as an actress. In "Long Shadow", she has performed dramas such as "Phoenix Phoenix", "Sunrise", and "Owner". She played Empress Dowager Cixi in "The Afternoon of the Jiawu" impressed the audience. In particular, the queen mother Empress Cixi she played was relaxed, unobtrusive, and honey-stomached, and she accurately grasped the keynote of the characters. She has participated in the dubbing of nearly 200 translated films, such as Lenin's mother in the "Ulyanovs", Raz's mother in "The Rangers", and "Butterfly Dream" Housekeeper in the wait.

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.
