Title: I need help on finding movies...
Post by: go2net on Dec 23, 2001 at 08:07 AM: Hi,

We're Filipino teachers in an international school in Thailand, and we're looking for DVDs of classics like "Oro, Plata, Mata" and any Lino Brocka film. English subtitles will be nice so we can show the films to our fellow teachers from US, Australia, Canada, India, Taiwan, etc.

A friend is going home for the New Year, so we'd appreciate it if anyone can recommend a DVD store in Metro Manila where we can buy these. Region 3 is okay.

Region 3 Pinoy films are available at Astrovision that have numerous branches in metro manila malls like SM and Robinsons.
I don't really know if the films you mentioned are available but you can jsut ask your friend to check.

As far as I know, there is only one Lino Brocka film on DVD so far and it's the film "Macho Dancer (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005KCB7/ref=ase_pinoydvd-20)". I don't know if this title would be appropriate to your target audience though. ???

At any rate, it's in Region 1 and available online (just click the link above). I just don't know if this title is being sold locally.

If you want to know the other Filipino films available on DVD, kindly visit the "Pinoy DVDs (http://www.pinoydvd.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.cgi?board=pinoydvd)" section of the forum.

Hope this helps :)

why doesn't the filipino movie industry take steps to preserve all our old films? Letting those old movies rot in some bodega is somewhat like letting a wondeful visual record of philippine history rot; why?
Title: Re: I need help on finding movies...
Post by: johndoe on Mar 31, 2003 at 09:20 PM: simply because there is no organization or gruop to do that kind of thing...sayang nga...mdaming great movies din ang filipino movie industry..

its expensive to transfer all movies into the more updated mediums of media.... they tried it in Sampaguita i think..

maybe you were referring to Agila. but i think it was not nominated because i am sure that no Filipino movie has been nominated before

Ok na din siguro VCD (mas tipid). But then, I think I'll try to call Astrovision to inquire. :)

It's also available on dvd unfortunately the version of Scorpio Nights on both the dvd & vcd is not the complete version of the film. It was a more sanitized version of the movie without the gratituous full frontal nudity courtesy of Daniel Fernando & Orestes Ojeda. I do own the uncut version on vhs & also the dvd. ;)

There were two released DVD format from Regal

One was the more tame version which is sold in Philippine Market

and the Uncut One which is sold in International Market.

Try searching the clearance section of vcds (Im not talking about Atrovision Stores, try the Video City outlets in SM Malls).. sometimes they have it stocked there....

Post by: xage on May 07, 2005 at 12:36 AM: If you were looking for Filipino Movies, aside goin to your nearby Filipino Retail/Video Store in US, try going to your nearby FRYs electronic store, they carry a wide range of Filipino Titles located at the foreign section of their Movies/Entertainment/Videogames Department
