Dr. Pongsakorn Jindawatana, born and raised in the Ratchaburi province, began writing from an early age when he was in elementary school. His passion was supported by his parents who always encouraged him to read and write.  Dr. Pongsakorns first work was a short story titled "Puk Pui" and it was published in a children's journal called Swita when he was 11 years old in 1977-1984.  Gifted in not only literature but also overall academically, Dr. Pongsakron eventually began studying medicine in 1987 and graduated from the Faculty of Medicine in Khon Kaen University in 1993. He later advanced his education by specialising in family medicine and graduated from the Pennsylvania State University in USA.  Currently, Dr. Pongsakorn Jindawatana is working as a senior director of communications within Bangkok Hospital. Aside from that, he continues his other passion which is writing and also co-owns a publishing house called "Groove Publishing" with his sister Sulawun Chantarawarin (sister) and younger brother Attharat Chantarawarin.

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.

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.
