Best Hispanic Movies

Now in order to accurately do this, I needed to think of movies that were mainstream, as far as came out in theatres, or whatever they had in the 80's, which is necessary for some of these movies. These are not in any type of order, I will let you decide on that. With that said let’s get started.

Now the first best Hispanic movie that comes to mind for any Hispanic is "Selena"!  This movie will be on anyone's list, if not for the fact that Selena is an icon to Hispanics, then its because of Jennifer Lopez! (wipes drool). Oh sorry got flashbacks to the movie.

The next movie to be on this list has to be, "Blood in, Blood out."  This movie shows how the Latino community works in South LA.  It is a very good movie and worth the 5 dollar rental.

Next is one of the most uplifting movies, "Stand and Deliver."  “A negative times a negative equals a positive."  This movie will be at the top of any best movie list.

Now "Bella," a heartwarming story, if this doesn’t make you cry, then there is something wrong with you.

"Mi Familia" and "Tortilla Soup" are both stories about the dynamics of Hispanic families and they are fairly accurate. Throw in some hot girls going after the boys, and the siblings fighting, feels like home! Watch out for the chancla!!

"Desperado," what an action movie, got to love the guns in the guitar cases, and the o so hot Salma Hayek running around in a dress that leaves little to the imagination!

The next two I haven’t seen yet but if there was a death threat on Amos for this movie, then I have to watch it. Which movie is that you ask, its "American Me!"  For some reason they like making movies about Mexicans in gangs. There is no stereotyping or stereo-casting in Hollywood is there?? Idk.

OK, the last movie is a movie that speaks the truth, especially in the day and age of Immigration debates.  "A Day Without A Mexican."  I know that it’s supposed to be a parody and takes things to the extremes, but if media is supposed to depict the future, and the what ifs, this can depict it to a ‘T’.

And the best for last, "The Perfect Game." This is not the best because it’s a baseball movie, it's the best because its about Little League Baseball history that was made by the Mexican Little League Team, the team that could. Its about the first and only perfect game thrown in little league baseball history, and guess what, it was thrown by Mexico's team. Probably the best movie I have seen, and I have seen a lot!

Well that is this one Mexican's opinion. If I missed any, then they weren’t remembering. Ha Ha.  Let me know what I missed and I’ll tell u if it’s worth it.
