who Nora? i still think she delivered her best dramatic performance in Gil Portes' 'Merika while her comedic turn in Elwood Perez' Lollipops & Roses at Burong Talangka was just rib tickling. she was the epitome of the babaeng bakla years before Maricel Soriano made a carrer out of playing the same role.

LOL -- Sobrang lalim na sa subconscious ko yang Burong Talangka, but you're right.  That was around the time when a new brand of comedy was bursting out of our screens.  Meron pang isa, "Inspiration" or "Remembrance" I can't remember, it was one of Ishma's early movies.  The one with "Lieberman, Leiberman ET Lieberman!!!" -- featuring a reed thin character actress who was funny as hell, stole the movie right out of the Vilma Santos-Edgar Mortiz loveteam.  The new comedy of Elwood, et al., was situational, much like the Pugo-Bentot-Eddie San Jose or Nida-Nestor movies of the early 60's, but the flavor was camp.  They winked at pop culture even as they changed it.

Hindi ko napanood ang 'Merika; akala ko pipillin mo ang Himala.

you should watch 'Merika then... it's my most favorite of all her performances. Himala is up there and whether i agree with it or not, Nora Aunor will always be remembered for her role as Elsa. i remember asking her one time, what her favorite films were and she mentioned Tatlong Taong Walang Diyos, Himala, Bona, Bakit Bughaw Ang Langit? & 'Merika.

1. Carlitos Siguion-Reyna - his movies like, "Ikaw Pa Lang Ang Minahal" and "Inagaw Mo Ang Lahat Sa Akin".

2. Ishmael Bernal - in "Hinugot Sa Langit" and "Pagdating Sa Dulo"

3. Maryo J. Delos Reyes - in "Magnifico" and "Saan Darating Ang Umaga"

--- These are my TOP "3" for now..

I was able to order 'Merika on VCD.  Thanks for the tip.

Also got Ikaw ay Akin and Pangarap ng Puso on VCD, and Naglalayag and Hesus Rebolusyonaryo on DVD.
