Now, let's see. I don't know why, but watching sappy Pinoy flicks would always make me giddy. I'm a self-confessed romantic, but I never thought of myself as mababaw. Not that I watch Pinoy films that have the generic insert-a-beach-scene-with-dancing-soundtrack-kahit-hindi-bagay-with-matching-dancing films. I watch films that are..well, romantic *insert Nakakdiri si Aggie! shriek here*.

But yeah, I admit. I love watching films like those. Even to the point of owning them in VCDs *cringes* (OK, I'm making this entry friends' only). Edil is the only one who can tolerate watching a movie with me, with me pinching and shrieking every now and then.

I'm confessing to having favorites though. I haven't watched any Judy Ann Santos film, even on Cinema One. But I have watched (almost) every Regine Velasquez and Sharon Cuneta films and some of the more recent ones by Claudine. And, you might kill me, but also movies with Diether on it. (HAHAHAHAHAH! He may look Chinese and gay, but I don't care, he looks so much like Edil to me - pre-Hunk days.) I have Regine movies in VCDs and Sharon's Kung Ako na Lang Sana. I loved that film.

Tagalog Movies I'd Watch Again and Again:

Kailangan Ko'y Ikaw
(Regine and Robin).
Robin was a revelation here, he can really act! Not to mention his eyes were mesmerizing! I love Regine so that is a given. But of all the movies she has made, I love this the most.

Bukas na Lang Kita Mamahalin.
(Diether and Angelu).
Ok, so this is actually a crappy film. But if any of you have seen the movie, you might as well have seen me and Edil pre-wedding. Away-bati-away-bati. Cats and dogs. Fugly. But cute! (hehehe)

Kailangan Kita.
(Aga and Claudine).
The cinematography was lovely and it felt like I got to know more about Bicol, Edil's hometown (his parents are pure Bicolanos). I got to know about their food - which is actually anything with sili and gata, but who cares? I love laing! The twist on Aga's Dad is nice as well.

Kung Ako na Lang Sana.
(Sharon and Aga).
I love this story! Heehee. I used to imagine this was me and H, pre-getting back with Edil stage of my life (bwahahahaha!). Grabe, I get all kilig everytime they would have those kulitan scenes. Pero honestly, if that would've happened to me, I would not be able to wait until I'm 40. Gurang na ako nun no!

Hihintayin Kita sa Langit.
(Richard and Dawn)
Awmehn!!! This movie is to die for!! This is actually my all-time Pinoy favorite, beating old Sharon movies!! This one is a classic, I tell you
Tanging Yaman.
I cried in this movie. Primarily because it hits close to home. My Lola Maring had Alzheimer's too.

Pare Ko.
(The Gwapings - Jomari, Eric and Mark plus Jao and Claudine)
Ok, this movie just has sentimental reasons. This movie and the Eraseheads defined my high school life. And for that alone, I would love this movie to death. (I can't finish it now though).

Bagets Movies.
I >3 the soundtrack, and seeing Aga and William being lanky is so much fun! Bwehehehehe.

Sharon Movies.
I'm at a loss for their titles right now but here they are:
1. The movie she paired with Gabby which was shot in Baguio where she is preggy and Cherry Gil was the kontrabida.
2. The movie where they were 3 singers - Dina, Cherry and her.
3. Richard - Sharon movies. ♥♥

I'm not much of a film critic but hell, these movies give me a goody giddy feeling - like you've let a very nice sneeze and a cry. And I wouldn't mind watching them again and again.

Time to confess, you, what Pinoy movies do you watch again and again?
