Surely in this era of streaming where foreign movies are getting noticed, Mexican movies would causes some waves. Never really heard of any, except El Mariachi. Koreans are surely definitely churning out the hits.

Donkey Show is underrated IMO. Should have won an Oscar for Special Effects.

Just watched Three Amigos for the first time in many years. Can't believe it hasn't been cancelled yet. I guess Mexican racism is still acceptable.

Would you say there is a plethora of Mexican racism?

Canadians aren't real people, so nobody cares about offending them. Consider yourself fortunate that you can blend in so well with Americans, since your native country doesn't have any sort of culture to bring along that makes you distinct.

Los Olvidados (Young and the Damned) is a classic from 1950's. It's about wayward juveniles.

Thats what I am asking. Seems like they should be a regular thing in movie theaters. Spanish speakers + foreign movie buffs = money to be made.

Straight out of college Mrs. Ro and I taught in Asherton, between Laredo and Crystal City. Live down there and you'll see lots of Mexican movies. My favorites are the wrestler/superhero ones with characters like El Santo and Mil Mascaras. Don't speak Spanish? Hey, you'll figure the story out. Speak a little Spanish. Characters in these movies speak slowly and very clearly.

Even in the middle of a very soft-core "porn" called CARNE, literally "Meat," the story grinds to a halt while someone sings a song. Comedy, drama, whatever, that musical number is pretty well guaranteed, even in the more recent ones I've seen.

Thats fine..but to get into Hollywood, AKA the big boy league, they had to have made some noteworthy hits back home. Irfan Khan (ceo dude in Jurassic world) isnt just a random actor from Bollywood, neither is Bong Joon-ho some soft core porn director in Korea.
