Overview from TheMovieDB

Tsui Gong-Yan, a senior executive of a property management company, took advantage of luck and his career was going smoothly. However, he and his wife Helen Kwong accidentally fell into an investment scam and suffered heavy losses. Gong-Yan was assigned to the Beijing branch as CEO, and saw this as an opportunity to turn around, so he and Helen went north to develop, but unexpectedly they encountered a mid-life crisis. Gong-Yan was forced to stay behind for the sake of face due to the rise and fall of his old enemy Ding Chi-Keung. He later met Sophie, whom he had not seen for many years, and his marriage faced a test. Food internet celebrity Tsui Gong-Man and street singer Tsui Bo-Yi each have their own reasons for moving north to join their eldest brother Gong-Yan. The family brainstorms and plans to transform an abandoned transformer factory into a cultural and creative park. Hong Kong people who are "Buddhist" must seriously fight a tough battle in life!

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.
