Pinoy movies with English subtitles

[merton]

Hi,
My friend abroad is looking for some pinoy indie movies such as Donsol, Manoro, The Bet Collector, Imagine Nation, etc. or any other award-winning movies.
 
can anyone help me where I can buy such movies?

thanks a lot.

[riverfan]

those movies you've mentioned are not yet available. However, some indie films like big time, icu bed #7, miss pinoy are available in DVD format (sadly, no english subtitles)

viva platinum titles (saan darating ang umaga?, macho dancer, etc.) and regal platinum titles (manila by night, babae sa bintana) has english subtitles.

[techdude]

The Bet Collector (Kubrador) is already available, but it too, does not have English subtitles.  And it has a cover which is so badly mis-formatted that it looks like a pirated DVD.  Available at selected Astro and Odyssey outlets.

Panaghoy sa Suba is Visayan with English Subtitles.

[Mr. Hankey]

regal platinum titles (manila by night, babae sa bintana) has english subtitles.

Actually, be careful with the Regal Platinum titles. Although the back covers SAY there are subtitles, not all of them actually do. Case in point: Sister Stella L

SISTER STELLA L. (1982) -- Mike de Leon

Please note that this list being posted by marj is apparently not completely accurate, since as I already noted above, the locally released version of SISTER STELLA L. does NOT have subtitles on the actual disc.

[marj]

The subtitles of the opening sequence of SISTER STELLA L.:

"The spirit of the Lord is with me because He has appointed me to teach the less fortunate the Good News of the Lord.  He has sent me to tell the prisoners that they will be free, and to the blind, that they will see, to give comfort to the oppressed, and to reveal the redemption of the Lord."

[Mr. Hankey]

The subtitles of the opening sequence of SISTER STELLA L.

You can quote text, marj, but that still does not change the fact that there are no subtitles on the locally-released DVD of SISTER STELLA L., unless it's been released in two versions. I bought this title from Astrovision when it was released in the Philippines in July of 2006. Here's the menu screen showing that there are no language and/or subtitle choice options:



Pressing "Subtitle" on the remote control does nothing, and as can be seen from the screen capture below with Vilma talking, subtitles aren't burned into the actual film, either:



==========

Your conviction that Sister Stella L. has subtitles (with quote included, at that) actually made me check another title you listed above:

AISHITE IMASU 1941 (2004) -- Joel C. Lamangan

My copy of this title that I purchased locally has NO SUBTITLES, either.

Where did you get this list you're posting from? It's mostly accurate, but as I said earlier, not completely. Perhaps you're reviewing US releases of these DVDs? Do American versions of these movies have subtitles, since I can guarantee you that these two DVDs with "For Philippine Viewing Only" printed on their art work do not.

Strange... na two versions pa ang lumabas na DVDs nito... Useful din naman dito sa Pinas kung may English subtitles eh.
