Simple Filter in PHP or MySQL

Hi,

I'm making a simple movie catalog database.  I want to add a filtering option on the catalog but I'm not sure how to do it properly.

Here my query to output the data:

==================================================================
$query  = "SELECT * FROM movies_view ORDER BY `title` ASC";
$result = mysql_query($query);

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {

$id = $row["id"];
$title = $row["title"];
$owner = $row["owner"];
$type = $row["type"];
$imdb = $row["imdb"];
$region = $row["region"];

$row_color = ($row_count % 2) ? $color1 : $color2;

if ($imdb == "")
{

echo   "<tr bgcolor=\"$row_color\" class=\"content_rows\">
            <td width=\"20\" align=\"center\">$row_number</td>
            <td width=\"20\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"no.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\"></td>
            <td width=\"420\">$title</td>
            <td width=\"80\" class=\"content_rows\">$owner</td>
            <td width=\"30\" class=\"content_rows\" align=\"center\">$type</td>
            <td width=\"30\" class=\"content_rows\" align=\"center\">$region</td>
            </tr>";
}

else

echo   "<tr bgcolor=\"$row_color\" class=\"content_rows\">
            <td width=\"20\" align=\"center\">$row_number</td>
            <td width=\"20\" align=\"center\"><a href=\"$imdb\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"yes.png\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\" border=\"0\"></a></td>
            <td width=\"420\">$title</td>
            <td width=\"80\" class=\"content_rows\">$owner</td>
            <td width=\"30\" class=\"content_rows\" align=\"center\">$type</td>
            <td width=\"30\" class=\"content_rows\" align=\"center\">$region</td>
            </tr>";

$row_count++;
$row_number++;
      
}

echo "</table>";
==================================================================

I've done a DISTINCT query to create a dropdown list of 'owner' I would like to have the option that when I select the owner in the dropdown menu that it will just output that specific owner.

thanks for your help!
