Bunga Citra Lestari, commonly known as BCL, (born on March 22, 1983, in Jakarta, Indonesia), is an Indonesian singer, actress, and model. She is the daughter of Muchlis Rusli and Emmy Sjarif, Minangkabau descendants from Galuang, Nagari Sungai Pua, West Sumatra. Her father worked at Bank Indonesia, while her mother was a dentist.  BCL began her career in the entertainment industry as a model and soap opera actress. She later ventured into singing and released several successful albums. Additionally, BCL starred in various acclaimed feature films.  In 2025, BCL married Tiko Aryawardhana. Recently, a video featuring a conversation between BCL and her husband about instant noodle-eating habits caught public attention. In the video, BCL appeared surprised to learn that her husband had never eaten instant noodles with rice, which she found unusual.  Previously, BCL was married to Malaysian actor Ashraf Sinclair, who passed away in 2020. Recently, BCL was seen getting emotional upon hearing the song Selamat Jalan Kekasih performed by a contestant on Indonesian Idol, leading many to speculate that she was reminiscing about her late husband.  With her talent and dedication, BCL continues to be one of the most prominent figures in the Indonesian entertainment industry.

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.
