A movie is composed of a whole lot of factors mixed together. And though local movies are often criticized for being artista-centered, there are still films that manage to stand on their own merit.
They say that a superior picture is made of a good story, good actors and certainly a good script. Lines used in movies are like pop songs; sometimes, even the simplest one-liner is enough to hold a viewer’s attention like a melody hook.
In the June 11 episode of QTV’s “Ang Pinaka” hosted by Pia Guanio, 20 of the most unforgettable Filipino movie quotes of all time were presented. These are lines that have withstood the passing of time, and throughout the years, have continued to gain a life of their own.
