My favorite 5 Filipino Directors are:
1. Ishmael Bernal: The way he Directed the film Himala. Ang galing talaga. He make Nora Aunor a well respected actress in this film.
2. Lino Brocka: A one hell of a Director makes a lot of good drama films like: Maynila sa Kuko ng Liwanag,Tinimbang ka ngunit Kulang,Orapronobis,Bona
3. Mike de Leon: Different concepts kaya nya like: Kakabakaba ka ba? a comedy film, Karnal, Bayaning Third World and Batch 81 a only film about fraternity.
4. Peque Gallaga: Well rounded Director he can do fantasy films for kids, drama and horror. films such as
Scorpio Nights, Shake Rattle and Roll, . And Oro Plata Mata great Cinematography.
5. Maryo J. Delos Reyes: Also like Gallaga, Kahit anong concept kaya nya iderek. Who started sa sub pop culture film here in the Philippines. Movie Bagets until now wala pa din makatalo na any youth oriented film. He also Direks Tagos ng Dugo for me is the best pinoy film in terms of serial killers.
DIRECTOR MUST BE WELL ROUNDED KAHIT ANONG CONCEPT AND GENRE KAYA NIYA.FOR ME A GOOD HE OR SHE KAYA PALABASIN O GAWIN NYANG MAGALING NA AKTOR O AKTRESS ANG ISANG ARTISTA. KAYA NIYA GAWIN ANG IMPOSIBLE SA POSIBLE.
FUTURE GREATS:
1. YAM LARANAS: Great Cinematography
2. QUARK HENAREZ: Great Story and who invented some crazy shots in the film. Pag napanood mo alam mong Quark. Always using a handycam shots.
But im looking forward to these future greats to make a comedy and horror. Dito makikilala talaga kayong magaling director.
