Local movies has a way of engaging the moviegoers with heartfelt movie themes usually found in dramas and mostly on komiks-based materials in the ‘80’s. Nonetheless, they become the soul provider of some of these movies. How I still long that Basil Valdez and Rey Valera will sing the themes of our movies up to now.
I initially came up with top ten but then it’s hard to come up with only ten so I opted to just list Greatest Tagalog Movie Themes instead. Here are my top choices. Some movies associated may not be great but their themes surely are:
