Don't you just love movies that revolve around Pinoy families and their dynamics? They make you laugh, cry, laugh-cry, the works! Although we all love going to the cinemas, there are just some movies that aren't available there anymore. Good thing there are a bunch of local films (old and new!) being added to streaming sites every day. Here are a few that we spotted:
1. Seven Sundays (2018)
