	Que Viva Mexico! (1932)			Not Rated
A classic. One of the best intended movies ever. Einsestein's film language is clearly expressed in these sequences. I only can imagine what this movie could be if finished.
	Macario (1960)
El ahijado de la muerte. I love this movie. Based on one Traven's story, it shows how mexicans see death (the god mother!)
	Cuentos de Hadas Para Dormir Cocodrilos (2002)			Not Rated
Lot of awards in Mexico. Good story line. The best is the poor coyote and the lack of dreams of the main character.
	Sin Dejar Huella (Without A Trace) (2000)			Not Rated
Excellent landscape and scenery. I am sure you will enjoy if you like 'Y tu mama tambien'
	Calzonzin Inspector (1973)			Not Rated
oh, oh!!! taken from Mexican comics banned by the government in the 60's called 'Los supermachos' . It is a satire of the Mexican society and politics.
	Santitos (1999)
From the beautiful town of Tlacotalpan to LA... I liked this movie because it shows the mixture of faith, tradition and force that many people from the mexican country side still have.
	The Crime of Father Amaro (2002)
New mexican film. It seems to me like a elaborated soup opera. Anyways, it has lots of details and it's well done.
	Frida: Naturaleza Viva (1984)
The Mexican version of Frida's life. Ofelia Medina is a great actress and has a good performance here.
	La Ley De Herodes (2000)
Hilarious! It is a great satire of the Mexican politics. A must see.
	Like Water for Chocolate (1993)
Delicious movie! This is a very traditional view of the mexican life in the dawn of the last century.
	Y Tu Mama Tambien (2001)			Not Rated
Funny. I recommend you to concentrate in the context and background of the movie... many stories and details are crossing and interlinked without noticing.
	Cabeza De Vaca (1991)			Not Rated
Based on the memories of Cabeza de Vaca when he was looking for 'El dorado', this movie shows a magic and complex new world for the conquerors.
	Cilantro Y Perejil (1997)
Funny and Hilarious. This is one of the 'New Mexican Films' trend in the 90's.
	La Mujer Del Puerto (1934)			Not Rated
it's a classic. Old but good.
	The Monsters [Santo y Blue Demon contra los monstruos] (1968)
I liked this movie, good if you like trash movies. Watching this movie is like entering in a different world where everything is possible. 100% surrealism.
	Sergei Eisenstein - Mexican Fantasy (1998)			Not Rated
Just like 'Que viva Mexico'... it is dense, but the photography and intention is outstanding. You will see how wild Mexico can be.
	Todo El Poder (1999)
Tired of abuse and corruption... I guess, this movie shows in part the impotence that many mexicans have againts crime.
