Top 300 feature-length narrative Filipino movies sorted according to Letterboxd's rating system (Read: THIS IS NOT MY PERSONAL RANKING OF FILMS!).
Short films, documentaries (docufictions are acceptable, documentaries that primarily employ narrative devices are also accepted), theatrical plays, concert plays, collage films, boxing matches, and other non-narrative, feature film types aren’t included here. If a film is set in the Philippines or has many Filipino actors, but is mostly financed, produced and handled by a non-Filipino production (i.e, Metro Manila & Pinoy Sunday), it is also excluded from the list unless the director is Filipino.

At least 90 views for eligibility. If you want to see a list of movies with less than 90 views and have received significant partial activity (viewed and reviewed several times), check out the Narrative, Feature-Length Filipino Movies Under 90 Views. If you want to see the history of Filipino movies that were part of the Top 300, check out The History of Filipino Films in the Top 300.
Updated monthly, or during local film fest season.
My good pal Linus also made an "anti" version of my list, containing the worst of the worst Filipino films that are rated on this wonderful website! You can check them out here.
Side Note: If there any Filipino movies that you think should fit in the list, but aren’t because they don’t show up in the sorted search list of Letterboxd (i.e, Ang Larawan fit the criteria even if it wasn’t tagged as a Filipino movie for some reason), please comment the movie so I can check. Thank you!

Maintainer's note: On the 26th of June, 2023, the website changed the way they compute the average ratings for all movies involved. This new algorithm is something I seriously disagree with due to how its weight prevents the exposure of films only distributed locally. It took me a while to realize it but I've decided to memorialize the final iteration of the list before the new algorithm change that affected the way the ratings are calculated per film. You can see a slightly deeper eulogy of this in the link above.
Maintainer's note (3/8/26): With the recent expansion of the Official Letterboxd from the Top 250 into the Top 500, I've elected as maintainer to also follow suit and gradually introduce a bigger list. This is also in support of hoping to provide more exposure to films that have been squeezed out of the Top 250, but are just as equally deserving of your attention.
