Cinemalaya 2010: Top Films

10. Halaw
Directed by Sheron Dayoc
Brave, intriguing, timely. An important movie that needs to be seen by many.

9. Wag Kang Titingin
Directed by Pam Miras
Simple yet striking, Pam Miras ended the shorts B showcase in such a somber note, that I left the screening with my heart raising.

8. Limbunan
Directed by Gutierrez Mangansakan II
Gorgeous and serene, a silent glimpse at the life down south, and the customs that are slowly fading from the now generation.

7. Pink Halo Halo
Directed by Joselito Altarejos
Simple yet striking, sincere, heartfelt and beautiful. Truly the most distinct movie from Alatarejos' works.

6. P
Directed by Rommel Tolentino
Funny, engaging, entertaining and did I say funny? I would not mind seeing Milo in Cinemalaya every year because he consistently brings the goods.


5. Donor
Directed by Mark Meily
Definitely the best Mark Meily movie so far, there is no denying that. Baron Geisler and Meryl Soriano also in their best works to date.

4. Faculty
Directed by Jerrold Tarog
Taut, well written, direct to the point and totally affecting. Tarog makes one superb film after another.

3. Vox Populi
Directed by Dennis Marasigan
Perfectly paced, thrilling and well timed comic. Expertly written and truly engaging. Another Marasigan gem.

2. Ang Paglilitis ni Andres Bonifacio
Directed by Mario O'Hara
A visual and cinematic (theatrical) treat. Mario O'Hara's true masterwork in recent memory.

1. Sampaguita, National Flower
Directed by Francis Xavier Pasion
A true step-up from his previous work, makes you wonder how much of a masterpiece the next movie would be.
