From young, Yang Jinbang wants to be a judge who upholds justice and he studied abroad. When preparing to return to China after completing his studies, he received news of his father's sudden death. Due to doubts about the cause of death, he dropped out and returned to investigate. Faced with various puzzles laid by his opponents, Yang Jinbang used scientific empirical evidence and rigorous logic to uncover the truth, and since embarked on the path of investigation in pursuit of justice. He also became famous for solving several mysterious cases. Three years later, the biggest mystery about the true cause of his father's death emerged. But when he used conclusive evidence to accuse the murderer Johnson, the British consulate allowed the murderer to board the cruise ship home as foreign citizens enjoyed "extraterritoriality" in China. Yang Jinbang finally awakened, and he determined to devote his life to pursuing legal justice in the true sense for the people around him.

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.
