Top 5 of Best Pinoy Films of 1970's Era

The 70's is considered the darkest moments in the Philippines History as martial rule was then declared by President Ferdinand Marcos. If there's something good that had happened during this era is the awareness of people in Filipino Films. Many exceptionally good films were produced during this era and the birth of Experimental Cinema of the Philippines gave way to the career of many world acclaimed Filipino actors and film makers.
Again here is my list of my  top 5 best films of 1970's. My list is based on three factors namely; contribution to the promotion of Philippine Culture, acting and awards and recognition received

1.Maynila Sa Mga Kuko Ng Liwanag- this is the debut movie of Bembol Rocco who later became one of the finest actors of Philippine Cinema. It tells of the story of two ill-fated lovers who experience the harsh of city living. Hilda Koronel's beautiful face also graced the movie and her soft portrayal of Rocco's provincial lass girlfriend made the movie as touching and moving as it is.

2. Minsa'y isang Gamu=gamo- is a story of Filipinos and American erratic friendship. Nora Aunor plays the character of a Filipina nurse who's dream of working  in the US was cut dead by her brother's death in the hands of American troops in Subic US military base. Jay Ilagan gave a stunning performance as Aunor's boyfriend ironically applying to be a US Navy despite the humiliation his mother suffered in the custody of Military Base's personnel. The film was directed by Lupita Concio who gave new heights in film directing.
