Christen Møller var søn af lærer, senere seminarieforstander Niels Henrik Ejler Møller (30-08-1871 - 01-04-1938) og Margrethe Jørgensen. Han blev student i 1914 og cand. phil. i 1915. Christen Møller var elev af Johannes Guldbrandsen og Poul Reumert 1913-14 og havde sin første optræden på Odense Teater ved teatrets indvielse 9. oktober 1914 som Christian i "Ole Lukøje". Han blev uddannet på Det Kgl. Teaters elevskole 1915-1917 og fik sin egentlige teaterdebut 11. december 1917 på Folketeatret som Nicolai i "Nøddebo Præstegård". Han var skuespiller på Folketeatret 1917-22. I foråret 1923 blev han engageret af Otto Jacobsen til at spille Armand i "Kameliadamen" sammen med Gerda Krum-Juncker. Siden kom han til Aarhus Teater 1923 til 1927, men engagementet blev brat afbrudt midt i sæsonen 1926-27, hvorefter han blev knyttet til Einar Birchs nystartede selskab. Han var hos Gerda Christophersen 1931-33, 1935-36, 1938-39 og hos Axel Illum 1934-35, hvor han begge steder fik mange store og gode opgaver, fx. Faust, Johannes i "Ordet", Christian II i "Diktatorinden" og Dupuy i Gandrups "Kongeligt Blod". Ind imellem spillede han ved flere af de københavnske scener, bl.a. Nørrebros Teater, Skolescenen og andre københavnske teatre. Han havde sin dramatiker debut på Odense Teater med "For kirkens domstol" i 1937. Han iscenesatte "Afsporet", "Nytårsklokkerne" og "For kirkens domstol". Det var dog radioen der gjorde ham mest kendt. Christen Møller skrev historiske hørespil og radiodialoger og var fra 1942 til 1965 fast dramaturg ved Danmarks Radio. I årene 1946-1964 var han medlem af det første filmråd. Han var en meget benyttet skuespiller i radioen og medvirkede i et stort antal hørespil.

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.
