But picture quality is quite bad for this title, by the way:

and that's why i'm not too keen on getting a dvd release of a local film. baka i-dub to disc lang yung mga vhs copies.  ;D

seriously, we have so much to learn and improve when it comes to film archiving in general, and transfers in particular.  :(

I think CineFilipino did a very good job with Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang and Insiang.

But if you want an excellently restored Pinoy "classic", Mondo Macabro's Silip (Daughters of Eve) is in league of its own:

As many as they can, especially the older films.

Sorry for any re-posts, but I found this online:

lahat nang darna.
all films ni lino, ishmael, abaya, deleon, zialcita, ad castillo, perez  at iba pang movies na classic ang dating nuong 70's and 80's.... mga pelikulang ipinalabas noong metro film fest noong 80's and 70's (if they started at that decade).

question lang po....

Digitally remastered RIZAL with the following color scheme:

Scenes from noli at el fili - Sephia
Scenes from jose rizal past - Black and white.
Scenes from current jose rizal - colored.

This is to distinguish them apart so the movie is not confusing especially to those who do not know the history of rizal and the story of noli and el fili.

id like to see all those cheesy comic book movies from the 70's, although i know that is next to impossible since most do not exist anymore.  titles like ate vi's darna movies, particularly lipad, darna lipad. ate guy's super gee, pinky montilla's supergirl, dolphy's capt. barbell, ariel ureta's zoom zoom superman and batman and robin starring victor wood.

I just picked up Ishmael Bernal's Himala on DVD.

It's a blind-buy. Was it worth it?

I think it's an excellent film, one of Bernal's best. Haven't seen the DVD, tho.

It wouldn't surprise me if much of the original prints of these films have already been lost or the cost of restoring them is too pricey that only a VHS transfer is possible and/or affordable.

It's really sad that the Philippines doesn't work harder to try and preserve classic film prints.

sad but not surprising. Time and time again we filipinos have shown that we do not care about our history. We don't learn from our past. That's why we are in the state that we are in now, we never learn from our past so wer'e doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over and over again.

Hongkong Holiday (1957).  San Meron?

                      You can check it Stray Cat on cinefilipino.com under the Sampaguita Pictures releases. This is one of my most remembered b/w movies on RPN-9 during the afternoon. Sigh..... Dolphy was really funny at that time.

True, but in terms of film history, we're not alone. I think France was the only that did a consistent job of preserving their cinematic legacy. Hollywood, Bollywood, much of Southeast Asia, Argentina, Mexico, Cuba, Italy, even Japan and China have done little to save film artifacts, and only recently have started cataloging and preserving their films (although the situation is not as bad as it is in the Philippines, early Hollywood films for example, as much as 50 per cent of those made before the 40s, are either lost or irrecoverably damaged). It's not only that we as Filipinos don't care about our past, but in general no one cares about the past. Film, across the board, was treated as a commodity, and such, was discarded just like any other commodity. It's true that the situation is really bad in the Philippines, but to say that its people is singular in their carelessness is simply another form of postcolonial self-hate and deprecation--the worse kind of cultural amnesia.
