REMEMBER this 1985 movie starring Val Kilmer as Chris Knight?

Here’s the “Real Genius” trailer courtesy of Crash517.

WE were waxing nostalgic the other night at a drinking session and I remembered this movie, “Melody” (which was also called “S.W.A.L.K.” or “Sealed With A Loving Kiss”), which featured a lot of songs from the Bee Gees, including “Melody Fair.”

The movie was released in 1971, but no, I didn’t see it that year, heh Instead, they showed it in our high school auditorium for some reason or other.

How many of you saw this movie? And how many of you loved it?

Here’s a clip of the “Melody Fair” scene.

And here’s a “Melody” tribute film created by babyshamblesx.

IF you grew up in the Philippines during the 80s, then you know “Bagets,” arguably the Filipino movie that best captured the spirit of that generation.

Here’s the opening scene of “Bagets” courtesy of gncreation.

And here’s the opening scene of the sequel, “Bagets 2,” courtesy of yamota. Both movies came out in 1984.

How about you, do you still have photos of you and your friends dressed in “bagets” attire? Share them with us

TALK about history being made.

They were two of the greatest love teams in Philippine cinema — Guy (Nora Aunor) and Pip (Tirso Cruz III) and Vi (Vilma Santos) and Bot (Edgar Mortiz). The two young women would become the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful Filipina actresses, whose storied rivalry dominated our movie industry for years. In fact, you could argue that even to this day, a Filipino movie fan is either a Noranian or a Vilmanian

Which is why the 1970 movie “Young Love” from Sampaguita Pictures is historic because it was the first and only time that the two love teams starred in the same film.

Here’s a clip of the four of them singing the title song, courtesy of stucknd70s.

How about you, which love team did you like more? Are you a Noranian or a Vilmanian?

WITH all due respect to the other actresses who have played Darna over the years, but to me, Darna will always be Ate Vi

Here’s a funny clip from the 1973 movie “Darna and the Giants” posted on YouTube by VSPRODUCTION. Narda (the alter ego of the superheroine Darna, portrayed by Vilma Santos) and her brother and sidekick Ding (Dondon Nakar) have been captured. Narda needs to swallow her magical stone (it’s actually a tiny piece of meteorite) in order to transform into Darna, but first Ding has to give it to her.

How do they do it when they’re both tied up? Well, watch the video heh

“Ding, pilitin mong ma-i-shoot. Asintahin mong mabuti (Ding, try to shoot it. Aim carefully).”

Talk about grace under pressure That was one hell of a shot!
