The Top 15 Hottest Male Moments in Philippine Movies 2007

What makes a hot movie moment? Sex, of course, but not always literally. It's the context and the treatment that taps feelings from the deep bowl of our senses. This is not a list of the hottest actors, although the guys are certainly a big part of why the scenes are so worthy.

The rules: No movie can have more than one moment, so even though Ang Lalake Sa Parola had tons of memorable scenes, there can only be one. No actor can do a double either, so even though Coco Martin was hot in at least three movies this year, I had to pick his most shining minute. Only feature-length movies with theatrical screenings in 2007 were considered; the straight-to-video novelties will have their own list.

Your favorite isn't on this list? No Aga Muhlach, John Lloyd Cruz, Piolo Pascual, even though they were textbook sexy in the year's biggest hits (A Love Story, One More Chance, Paano Kita Iibigin)? Not one from gay lord Cris Pablo's digital films? None of the television rookies in the numerous generic horror flicks of the year? No toddler flashing his peepee from Foster Child? Shame on you.

Some are obvious choices. (A sexy guy taking off his shirt is hot, duh.) Some may seem odd (a teen fully clothed in a pond?), but sometimes the uniqueness or the absurdity of the scene ups the heat. Even if no one seems to watch Pinoy movies anymore, the following is proof that we really should be interested again. I wish I could post the specific scenes as they are, but they're hard to find, so I posted the movie trailers instead, whenever available.
