list updated 09/01/03 --kgwd.

I know this topic may overlap with the other topics here, but permit me to say that it's very hard to sift through all the topics here just to know what Filipino titles are out in the market. That's my excuse, and here's my list:

Did I miss anything?

:)Frankly, our pinoy dvds belong to the not-so-impressive lot. I really look forward to seeing pinoy classics like BADJAO, BIYAYA NG LUPA, MAYNILA SA KUKO NG LIWANAG, INSIANG, HIMALA, SISTER STELLA L and all those great movies from the 70's and early 80's, immortalized thru dvd. These movies are worth collecting for. Or why not a Lino Brocka or Ishmael Bernal collection?

Why can't some historical commission do something about this. Budgetary constraints?

Don't you think that there is something wrong with local DVDs? I mean it will most likely appeal to Pinoys in other countries that have different regions. So how can they buy or even watch these DVDs if their players are locked to their respective regions. Just a thought lang.

someone said in the forum that the filipino dvds have region 0, meaning, they can be played on any dvd player from whatever region.

Do they have a website or something? It would really be something if some of those people could visit this site.

Dietsprite Don't worry. I am also on the lookout for the release of Pangako...Ikaw Lang. I'm pretty sure that it's due to be released since Joyce Bernal's other romantic comedies (Dahil May Isang Ikaw and Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw) made it to DVDs.

THE_EDGE · « **Reply #17 on:** Sep 04, 2001 at 03:04 PM »

ARE THOSE TAGALOG MOVIES HAVE ENGLISH SUBTITLES OR ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN DOLBY 5.1 AT LEAST? IT WOULD BE NICE ISN'T IT IF THEY ARE TRANSLATED AS WELL IN SOME OTHER LANGUAGE, RIGHT? :-/ :-/ :-/

Dietsprite · « **Reply #18 on:** Sep 25, 2001 at 03:35 AM »

out na dis wednesday ang PANGAKO IKAW LANG in video [vhs and vcd's] kasama na kaya yung dvd diyan?

Hi, first time to visit this thread.

Saw the list of available DVDs...it's not a very good list of films. Macho Dancer and the two Joyce Bernal romantic comedies are the most watchable of the lot (well, For Your Height Only has some camp value), but I'd hate to represent the Philippines with this paltry selection.

On the question of subtitles...they don't do English titles lightly, it's very expensive, paying for translator, spotter, then actually printing the titles will cost from a hundred to two hundred thousand pesos...no, the studios, especially nowadays, are not interested in spending the money.

There is this government body called IFFCOM that will reimburse a studio for expenses in showing to a film festival abroad, but it's a reimbursement deal, and studios aren't even willing to advance the cash.

That's the reality of it, folks. With amateur subtitling techniques, that may be the only hope...

Phobos · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 07, 2001 at 03:44 AM »

I've watched Dahil May Isang Ikaw & Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw before and I was very impressed with the subtitles done for those two DVDs. As far as the English and Tagalog subtitles are concerned, they were professionally done. In synch and accurate.

Kahon · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 13, 2001 at 11:47 AM »

To whoever is interested:

Filipino director Eddie Romero has these films out on DVD (or on pre-order):

1. Twilight People
2. Beyond Atlantis
3. Black Mama, White Mama
4. Beast of the Yellow Night

Cheesy horror or women-in-prison b-movies. So bad, they're good !

Some feature filipino actors like Vic Diaz and Eddie Garcia(!), but american-produced.

Great list of films on Romero. Always wanted to see his B movies, Gerry De Leon's too (IMDb would have em, tell you if they're on DVD).

De Leon's Terror is a Man, the second remake of Island of Dr. Moreau (not the terrible Michael York version), was shown in the Berlin Film Festival last, uh 1999 I think, part of their Artifical Man or something retrospective. I hear it was sandwiched between Blade Runner and Metropolis.

Kahon · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 13, 2001 at 08:46 PM »

Gerry de Leon's b-movies: Terror is a Man and Curse of the Vampires are on DVD.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #24 on:** Oct 14, 2001 at 10:11 AM »

Glad to hear about the subbed DVDs or VCDs or whatever; I just don't think the very best of Philippine cinema is being subbed,unless they have gone to film festivals.

Noel_Vera · « **Reply #25 on:** Oct 15, 2001 at 11:42 PM »

The list still doesn't improve much with updating.

For what it's worth, some films available on VHS:

Scorpio Nights now on DVD --kgwd.

Boatman

Segurista

Rizal sa Dapitan now on DVD --kgwd.

Babae sa Bubungang Lata

Eskapo

Sisa

Lihim ni Madonna

Pangarap ng Puso

Pila Balde

Kriminal ng Baryo Concepcion

Biyaheng Langit now on DVD --kgwd.

Which are a lot better films, I think, than the ones listed above. Philipppine cinema is still in the VHS stage I'm afraid...VCD at most.

Anybody knows if there is an ORAPRONOBRIS DVD transfer?
This film has been marketed thru the laser Disc Format before, seems it's a good candidate to be transfered unto DVD.

barrid · « **Reply #27 on:** Oct 22, 2001 at 04:57 PM »

Hindi pa ba bumababa ang presyo ng mga Tagalog DVDs? Keep us posted please.

Jonassen · « **Reply #28 on:** Oct 23, 2001 at 10:41 PM »

Yup, yup Noel_vera, that's definitely THE LIST !!

Sana nga, they release other filmfest movies, too like Isla among others.

JT · « **Reply #29 on:** Oct 24, 2001 at 11:35 AM »

Wala pa ba sa Tagalog DVD's yung mga Joey De Leon & Rene Requestas series like Starzan, etc o kaya yung kay FPJ like Ang Panday, etc
