Fiery Mexican flicks are on must watch list of every avid movie buff. Here is my handpicked list of the top 3 Oscar nominated Mexican films of all time.
#3. Elvira – The tagline for this drama is – “I will give you my life but I’m using it.” This tragic comedy starring Cecilia Suarez has been well received by fans and critics alike. The script has a lot of inconsistencies which is a downside but it is still a good watch with some drama, action and comedy sprinkled in for good measure.
#2. Eddie Reynolds and the Angels of Steel – This movie was masterfully directed by the renowned director Gustavo Moheno. It was perhaps the most watched movie when it was first released. An unusual plot where a metal band reunites as Bono, from U2, is interested in their music. Its about second chances and dreams coming true for musicians. One of my favourites as it is heart-warming and inspiring with a few good laughs as well.
#1. One for the Road – This is one the most popular Mexican comedies released recently. It shows us the hilarious adventures of 3 seniors who set out on a trip as the last wish of their beloved friend on death bed. It is full of laughs and has been applauded by critics.
So, if you are in the mood to watch a sassy Mexican movie, then grab your popcorn and set out to watch one of these 3 movies. You will be sure to have a great time.
