My All Time Favorite Filipino Movies

Jessica Zafra posted an all time favorite Filipino movies poll here and it got me thinking about my own ten. I actually have a little more and I thought of sharing it here as well, in no particular order:

Pisay - This was one of the movies that generated a lot of buzz during 2007's Cinemalaya and with good reason. Honestly, before watching this film, I didn't know what Pisay was. 

100 - I became a fan of Chris Martinez after watching this movie. I was able to catch one of the last few screenings during 2008's Cinemalaya at CCP's conference room, I think. Even if the seats were uncomfortable, I didn't mind because I was having the time of my life. 

Endo - Beautiful romantic movie, I immediately urged Clarice to watch this film after seeing this. 

Azucena

Sidhi

Tuhog - In the height of TF films, Jeffrey Jeturian came out with this film about sensationalism and how sex sells in cinema. 

Jay - Well deserved award for Baron Geisler. It's a jarring look at how "real" news docus are.

Kakabakaba Ka Ba? - I remember watching this movie on TV with my cousin, Shobe and just having fun. Every time we'd find this on, we'd end up watching it again.

Minsan Lang Kita Iibigin - If only for the scene in the kitchen. Oliver and I both love this movie.

Kimmy Dora

Mano Po 2 - This movie came out at the time of my lolo's passing, almost 20 of us trooped to the cinema to watch this and we were all able to relate to it. It helps that Zsazsa sings my favorite Teresa Teng song. 

Sa Aking Mga Kamay - This was the first Filipino suspense film that made me jump out of my seat and I remember feeling very proud that we are capable of delivering a suspenseful film.

Magnifico - I still cry, up to now, when watching this film.

Zombadings, Patayin sa Shokot si Remington

Kinatay - This film I wouldn't watch again because I found this to be scary and disturbing because of how very real everything felt.

Bulaklak ng Maynila - I was surprised that I actually liked this film.

One More Chance - Popoy and Basha.

My Amnesia Girl

Here Comes the Bride
