Silent night featuring ramsey, segun, alex. Usifo etc

I remember how the lead actress seduced pastor IFEANYI ikpoenyi in that film and he threw away d bible and started kissing her deeply.

Are we listing top 10 old nollywood movies or top 10 best nollywood movies of all time?

'Cos I know Nigerians like to follow hype of ancient crap.

None of the movies in the OP's list is even a better movie than 'The Meeting' or 'Anchor Baby'. To give you some credit, these movies redefined nollywood at various times, but quite better movies have been made, both quality and storywise.

OP, please change your thread title.

And then add the following old movies:
* Saworoide

*Thunderbolt (Magun)

Etc etc.
