Wow, You're missing a lot.

First, there are the "good trys". Sort of Mexican Dances With
Wolves of the last several years (pretty respectful portrayals
carried by an outsider), including La Bamba, Old Gringo, and A
Walk in the Clouds.

Then there are all the gang movies we had a while back including
Mi Vida Loca, Blood In/Blood Out, American Me, and Colors. Some
good and some bad.

Also think about the stars of the past like Ricardo Montalban,
Rita Moreno, Anthony Quinn, and even Cheech Marin.
