There are technically hundreds of thousands of movies available to stream on the internet, but movies that we think of as classics are usually those that were viewed in movie theaters decades ago.

Regardless of how old you are, there’s no doubt that you know the stories behind the classic movies we all grew up with. We can all recite the plots of many of them. But what do you know about the stars of classic movies? What’s their real story? This series will focus on the history of the actors on the big screen.

When people think of a classic movie from decades past, the first thing that usually comes to mind is the film’s cast and their memorable performances. But what about the films’ music? Would the film still be as enjoyable if not for the incredible soundtrack? Who can forget BAGETS? hahaha… i just carbon dated myself!

The Philippine film industry was once known as the Philippines’ Hollywood. In the early 1970s, the country produced over 100 feature-length films annually. Nowadays, only around 30 Filipino films are released every year.
