A pioneering Kuwaiti actress, Aisha Ibrahim was born in 1944. She moved with her family to the Sharq neighborhood in Kuwait. She studied in Jibla and later attended high school, though she did not complete her graduation. In 1959, she joined the Girls’ Training Institute under the Ministry of Social Affairs and Labor, where she studied for three years.  Her passion for theater grew during this time. After attending a stage performance, she expressed her desire to act to the renowned Mohamed El Nashmy, but he initially declined her request.  Undeterred, Aisha made her stage debut in 1963 in the play "Her Luck Breaks the Rock" (حظها يكسر الصخر). She transitioned to television and hosted the program "Diwaniyah TV", directed by Khaled Al Siddiq.  In late 1974, she co-founded the Free Theater group alongside other artists, contributing significantly to Kuwaiti theater, television, and radio. In February 1977, she was honored with the Shield of the First Arab Theater Star. Later, she received the Best Actress in a Leading Role award for her performance in the play "If the Camel Falls" at the first local theater festival in Kuwait.  She passed away in September 1992, leaving behind a legacy of artistic excellence.

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.
