On the early morning of the winter solstice, Yang Yuan's nine-year-old son disappeared without a trace in the stairwell. The police found that he had sneaked into a neighbor's house just before his disappearance. The suspicious neighbor has a solid alibi, as if remotely controlling a magic room escape. On the other side of the unit, Yuan Wu's father died suddenly after drinking. In order to receive his pension, Yuan Wu decided to hide his father's body in the rental house. During the period, he encountered the fear of illusion and reality, and inadvertently touched on another mystery. Six months ago, Lin Chu Ping, a single female white-collar worker living alone, woke up in her home and found that she was violated in her sleep, but had no clue about the culprit, only a piece of ether handkerchief left on the window sill... These seemingly unrelated people, in different time and space Overlap each other and start their journey of finding answers.

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.
