This is a late (very late) reply to AFI's 100 Greatest American Films of All Times (not to mention my way of defying the sense of loss felt from all the recent deaths); instead of coming up with a hundred American movies, though, I'd thought (for the sake of not repeating the work of dozens of perfectly good film blogs) of coming up with a hundred Filipino films.

(A late response this may be but, as it turns out, timely enough for the 9th Cinemanila International Film Festival, (Aug. 8 - 19 at the Gateway Mall Cineplex 10), which will hopefully include a sidebar featuring a few of these films)
