Biography from TheMovieDB

Sakina Samo began her acting career in regional television plays and radio dramas in Pakistan. Her breakthrough screen performance in Dewarain, a social-drama examining honor killings in Pakistani society, launched Sakina into the public consciousness and saw her receive the first of many best actress nominations. Dewarain saw her earn recognition as the nation's leading character actress. Working alongside some of the best directors in the industry, Sakina continued to deliver performances that amassed both critical and commercial acclaim. After an extended break, Sakina returned to the screen in 2000 to act, produce and direct several award-winning dramas. In 2011, she received the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz in recognition of her work in the Pakistani entertainment industry. In 2014, she directed her fifth collaboration with Pakistani writer Umera Ahmad, Mohabat Subh Ka Sitara Hai which has received both critical and commercial acclaim. Most recently, she directed and produced her first feature film, Intezaar which will be releasing in 2020.

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.
