Is the Feedback section really the place to post what you just wrote?

Here's a handy tip: Go to the appropriate topic on the main page. Once inside, click on "New Topic". It's the tab on the upper right hand corner of the sub-topics section. Right beside it is the "Post new poll" tab which you may also click when you want members to vote on whatever it is you want votes on.

Regular members can start topics and polls. You don't need a moderator's hand.

Hope this helps.

              Okay a. Even FHM printed this kind of article.  Most of the lists I like, most especially KUNG MAHAWI MAN ANG ULAP. And also, KISAPMATA. Why, why, why FENG SHUI?

[technosprite]

Goodies! Glad that a lot of '80s masterworks and a number of La Aunor films have been cited. Based from this list, there was really a dearth of great films in the '90s.

Notably absent are: Tinimbang Ka Ngunit Kulang, Ora Prononobis, Broken Marriage, Merika, and Burlesk Queen.

[keating]

They should have included Castillo's PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA, the greatest Filipino horror film ever made.

Nice also if they include a list of teen-angst flicks.....UNDERAGE, PARE KO will be a good choice.

[Noel_Vera]

Where's Lav Diaz's digital work, Raya Martin, John Torres, Dennis Marasigan, Rico Ilarde?

Where's Manuel Conde, Gerardo de Leon, Manuel Silos, Lamberto Avellana, Chaning Carlos, Ramon Estella, among others?

Where's Fernando Poe, Jr. and Dolphy? Where's Weng Weng?

FHM has good photo spreads. I can say that much.

[Noel_Vera]

And if May Minamahal is a comedy, then I'm Britney Spears.

[oggsmoggs]

...and what's the point of dividing the list into categories, which has me thinking why there isn't an Action category, a Fantasy category, a Documentary category... but, yeah, it's good that they spared some pages on what horny men would normally gloss over, I just wished they made it more fun and more in line to what kind of mag they are... How about 50 Most Important Nipple Exposures, etc.

[indie boi]

Personally, I always wonder why My Other Woman keeps cited as one of the best Pinoy movies ever. I just don't see any exceptionally commendable merits for that movie--unless they're referring to another movie altogether.

Jaclyn Jose in a clinch with Julio Diaz in TAKAW TUKSO.

A psychosexual chamber piece that takes a piercing look into human behavior, this remarkable gem of a film is distinguished by its sharply-written script, subtle direction, superb characterization and richly-textured production design. Jaclyn Jose, Anna Marie Gutierrez, Julio Diaz and Gino Antonio star as four friends caught in the complexity of their own libido and relationships

William Pascual's one-hit-wonder TAKAW TUKSO, Urian best pic was also missing on the lists of the bold genre. Saw it again recently, the extended love scenes for sheer indulgence are very hot, indeed.

[Noel_Vera]

Where's Init sa Magdamag? Raymond Red? Kidlat Tahimik?

[SiCkBoY]

Huwatttt?!? No Snake Sisters?!? 

[X44]

Stupidest category - - -Independent.

[Noel_Vera]

And if we're talking about modern (so a lot of '50s and '60s classics are out)--no Lilet? Fe, Esperanza, Caridad? Women in Cages?
