I hope the list will not be peppered by movies that were made only in the last 20 years. It will be a great disservice to people like Lamberto Avellana and Gerry de Leon.

The problem is the availability of these films. Almost thousand were already lost and beginning to be extinct. I can only count a handful from this era that I saw during my childhood days in channel 7. Those made by LVN, Sampaguita and Premiere studios.

Maybe someone ought to make the list in alphabetical order, then we can nominate more - those not on the list, then afterwards when a list of say 250 films is complete, vote on it, with votes of those known knowlegeable film critics counting as 10 each, and those of regular forumers, one, that should prevent newer or popular films with lesser content topping the list...  and there should be a cut off date, say, films made and exhibited by December 31, 2006.

All dramas? No comedies? No musicals?

Giliw Ko was a musical, Jack & Jill was a comedy, Pepot Artista was part comedy and musical with some dramatic moments, Biyaya Ng Lupa had a great opening scene complete with music and dancing while Stardoom & High School Circa '65 had musical numbers in it as well...

In my history of watching movies, its the only one that I track back from my childhood days when I first saw it televised on channel 4, after I was rejected from the Manila Film Center screening in 1983. My curiosity paid off after I finally saw the integral version in World Cinema Centennial celebration at Sm Megamall in 35 mm print!

Two of Jose Javier Reyes films were on my lists, PARE KO and MAY MINAMAHAL. PARE KO has teen angst theme possibly one of the sensible movies about youth and much better than Brocka's BURGIS.

I wonder if the movie Desire is the same one that has the theme sung by Deborah which has the line: "Hello Joe....Please don't say goodbye." Can anyone confirm this? I believe the movie also stars american actor John Saxon (of A Nightmare On Elm Street fame as Nancy's cop father).

the song by Deborah was indeed the theme song of Eddie Romero's film Desire. it was originally titled Hello... Joe, Goodbye which also starred Mark Gil & Tetchie Agbayani...

100 Greatest Filipino Films (http://criticafterdark.blogspot.com/2007/08/100-best-filipino-films.html)

Great list Noel!!! Glad to see HINUGOT SA LANGIT...

I was surprised that you included MORTAL and didn't list ORO PLATA MATA

100 Greatest Filipino Films (http://criticafterdark.blogspot.com/2007/08/100-best-filipino-films.html)

I'm glad that Oro Plata Mata and Karnal are not in the list, Noel. They're overrated in my opinion. But where's Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon and all the other Romero films for that matter? I'm also partial to Jeturian's Tuhog so I'm quite  :o that it isn't there. But nitpicking aside, it's comprehensive enough. I have to admit though that I haven't seen about a quarter of those films you've mentioned, so there.

Not a fan of Oro Plata or Ganito, I'm afraid. The latter has a great script, but the camerawork is flat as a pancake; the former has some style, but the script's underdeveloped--not to mention I thought it tended to demonize the lower classes.

Mortal I thought the real auteur was Ricky Lee, and that was one of his best scripts; May Nagmamahal I thought showed Diaz Abaya's skill as a mature filmmaker, and some of her best qualities, that of a maternal champion of social issues, but in a story that was actually moving.

If I were to include a Romero, I might include Aguila. But I need to see it again, it's been so long.

Noel, where did you get to see Sanda Wong and 48 Oras? Are the prints for these films still available?

48 Oras I saw in La Salle University's film library, thanks to Doy del Mundo. Sanda Wong, there's a print, good condition too.

I guess you should check out also the movie by Lino Brocka..... Rubia Servios.. It is worth to mention and very rare film also that never been seen in philippine television

Nice lists, Jojo! Its about time that a Gosiengfiao flick be recognized. UNDERAGE, NYMPHA & TEMPTATION ISLAND will be included on my lists also.

Temptation Island? Why not? This movie left me in stitches and is actually a classic (to many I hope)

Coming up with a Top 100 is extremely hard especially for a non-hardcore cineaste like me. Can't you guys come up with criteria, like social impact, unforgettability factor, etc.,

Basta ako, I will include 60's DANCE-O-RAMA starring Susan Roces & Jose Mari Gonzales. Baliw na baliw ako sa movie na ito!  ;D ;D

    Despite DANCE-O-RAMA's flimsy plot (an excuse to promote the T.V. dance show to which the movie was based) is highly entertaining mainly due to its charming cast. ;)
    I remembered recording this movie via cable when there's still Viva Cinema back then. :D

Looked at Aguila recently and I think it's Romero's underrated masterpiece. Plus it has a real look, thanks to Mike De Leon, comparable to and even superior I think to Oro PLata Mata (it's cleaner, less pretentious). Will probably add this to my top 100 soon...

I'm dying to see Suzara's MGA BILANGGONG BIRHEN which I heard has some resemblance or even better than Peter Weir's PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK?

Bumped PATAYIN MO SA SINDAK SI BARBARA on my Top Ten Lists......arguably the greatest Filipino horror film ever made. I wish I could see also The Kid's zombie film made during the early 70's and the black and white erotic film NYMPHA.

Celso is one hell of a genius filmmaker! Even Peque is so inspired on his films.  Count it....he can do anything from horror, epic, drama, action to bold genre.

Patayin is easily the most frightening. Greatest? I keep leaning to Gerry de Leon's Ibulong Mo sa Hangin. Or arguably Kisapmata.

alam mo keats, i met direk celso a few years ago. i interviewed him for a segment sa show show ni loren legarda noon sa abc 5. mabait sya. we arrived late in the evening sa house nya (cavite o laguna ba yun?) pero hintay nya pa rin kami. he even autographed my vcd of burlesk queen. alam mo, kahit sya wala nang masyadong kopya ng old classics nya. ang mostly meron sya na ipinakita nya sa amin 80s-90s bold films nya (sa vhs pa). sayang nga lang walang photo op kasi wala akong dalang camera hehe.

Celso is also a terridic actor--see him as the ambitious mayor in Bagon Hari, or even in I forget which lousy movie, it was either an early Laranas or early Matti, but he stuck out as the only thing that was both over the top and just right.

Best time to see PATAYIN  during night time or midnight with all the lights in your house off! Except for that string on the first flying object that smashed the face of Susan before her final showdown with Rosanna Ortiz, you can forgive that already.

NO chance to see BAGONG HARI  Noel, unless Cinema One can dig the 35mm or any existing copy of that film, but I'm still hoping. It was only released 1986.

Yup, Celso hails in Siniloan, Laguna.....cicconeguy.
