Ann Bridgewater (born 1965), who is sometimes also known as Paak On Lei, is a former Hong Kong actress.  Bridgewater was born in Hong Kong of mixed British, Chinese and Malay parentage. She attended Christ Church Kindergarten, the Diocesan Girls' School and the King George V School in Hong Kong.  Bridgewater displayed a strong work ethic early in life when she won an ice skating competition at the age of thirteen. She went on to win a 1984 Singles competition in Dallas as well as taking out the Taiwan Pairs competition.  Bridgewater was famously said to have been offered a place at Oxford University which she turned down in order to become a film and singing star in Hong Kong. She debuted in I Do in 1985 as well as forming a music group with Charine Chan, Bonnie Law, and May Lo.  Bridgewater retired from film in 1994. She studied medicine at the University of Hong Kong and now works as a psychiatrist.  Description above from the Wikipedia article Ann Bridgewater, licensed under CC-BY-SA, full list of contributors on Wikipedia.

The Search Form


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.
