Films - Latin American Actors & Directors, Part 1 (of 2): Films from the 20th century

From a recent work-related email, a list of films to watch.



The Latin American Heritage Committee (LAHC) members have curated a list of films by Latin American actors and directors from outside and within Latin American countries that offer a fascinating look at how Latinos have been portrayed on the big screen through the decades.

The film list will be shared in two parts:This week, you have received Part I of the list, which includes films from the 20th century.

Next week, you will receive Part II, which includes films from the 21st century.

Your friendly neighborhood independent video store recommendations:

The LAHC invites you to explore the curated film list below. There recommendations include Mario Moreno ‘Cantinflas’ in "Ahí Está El Detalle" (1940s), Oscar winners José Ferrer and Anthony Quinn in the 1950s, and Rita Moreno’s "West Side Story" (1960s), which raises representation issues. The 1980s spotlight Edward James Olmos in "Stand and Deliver" and Gregory Nava’s "El Norte", while music films like "La Bamba" and "Selena" celebrate iconic artists. The 1990s feature crime dramas like "My Family / Mi Familia" and Robert Rodriguez’s "El Mariachi", along with poignant tales in "Strawberry and Chocolate" and "Central Station".

We hope you discover a film that you can enjoy on your next movie night! Don’t forget to check out the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) and Rotten Tomatoes sites for detailed reviews. The films are available to stream free on the video streaming services listed. Although not always listed, some of the older films are available for streaming on YouTube. Additionally, some of these films are available for rent / purchase from your online providers like Amazon, Google, Apple, and Fandango at Home.

Comments: Forgot sunblock on today's maintenance run. UV Index was 2 when I started, but 3 when I was about halfway done. So cooked my skin a bit 😛 Otherwise I took it easy and ran at my own pace, accelerating and de-accelerating as needed to stay comfortable. I saw a welcome sight: water fountains! I had taken a slightly different route and ran past a parklet with them. Very welcome, as they are at roughly the halfway point on my 55-minute runs. 💧 Listened to my audiobook.

Comments: Wrapping the 36th week of the year with an easy-pace marathon long run. Crossed mileage markers 1,300 km and 800 miles for the calendar year. Heat wave crested over the weekend with projected temperatures reaching 38° C (100.4° F) by 4:00 p.m. on Sunday. With that in mind, took wisdom from American runner and author Dean Karnazes' book "Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner" (2005), and ran my marathon during the night hours; i.e., at the coolest part of the day. Which--on a day reaching such high temperatures--was 22° C (71.6° F) just before sunrise 😛 The downside was the lack of sleep. I put my head on my pillow around 9:00 p.m., but could not fall asleep soundly. Awoke around 12:45 a.m. and decided to just get up and go. No use sleeping until 2:00 a.m. Got dressed. Did 4 things I should always do: 1) Garmin HRM-Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor; 2) Anti-chafing; 3) NipEaze; and 4) Headband ✅ No sunblock needed on this run. Fed the cats, had some cold brew coffee and a Clif Bar. Reviewed Fellrnr's wiki page suggesting a 11:00/mile run pace for an overall 12:41 training (+2 minutes) pace, with 1:00/1:00 run/walk intervals. Given the slightly elevated temperatures, I gave myself some leeway for running a bit easier pace). Today for the first time on a run I wore my Nathan - QuickStart 2.0 6 L Hydration Pack. The pack has a 1.5 L bladder in the back, and the 6 L moniker seems to mean it has 6 L total storage. On Saturday night I chilled the water bladder in the fridge. In the back zippered storage I put 2 Clif bars and my mask. In the front-left zippered pouch I put my house key and my Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds charging case. In the front-right un-zippered pouch I stored the partially-eaten Clif Bar as I ran. One anonymous Redditor suggested pushing the extra hose length into the bladder storage compartment (thank you), which kept it at the right length as I ran. Another Redditor suggested turning the bladder upside-down and sucking the air out (they called it burping it, I think), so I did this as well in an attempt to stop sloshing noises. After breakfast, I re-inserted the bladder into the pack, adjusted the hose, cinched the straps to what seemed like a reasonable length, and headed out to the street. Usually when I start early I can usually see civil twilight, when the sun is nearest the horizon. Starting at 1:30 a.m., this night was moonless and black, but clear with twinkling stars. The earliest twilight--Astronomical twilight, when the sun is between 18° and 12° below the horizon--would not begin until 5:41 a.m. My muscles felt relatively recovered. City streetlamps illuminated the roadway. Traffic was minimal. I knew most of the paved paths well. Started listening to an audiobook and ran. It took a few intervals to adjust to the 1:00/1:00 run/walk pace. It was nice to have plenty of walk breaks. A nagging part of me wanted to run faster, but the experienced part of me remembered it is the feeling at the end that matters (when training at least), not the beginning of a multi-hour run. I felt relief to have so many hours of night "buffer" on a day with high temperatures. The earth had cooled from the high of the previous day to its coolest point around 1:00-2:00 a.m., and would stay that way until sunrise at 7:09 a.m. By 8:00-9:00 a.m., the temperatures would increase rapidly to almost 27° C (80.6° F), a much more punishing heat. So 1:00-2:00 a.m. was about the sweet spot to start. The early miles were mostly devoid of traffic. I passed a homeless person adjusting their camping spot next to a bank by a major intersection. If safe, I ignored stop lights at minor intersections. A few empty vehicle-carrier semis pulled into and out of a side street I had not suspected as leading anywhere. At one such stoplight, I pushed the crosswalk button, then waited a few seconds, then continued as it was safe. There were two vehicles, one in the southbound left-turn lane across from me, the other going straight in the northbound lane to my right. I.e., neither crossing the crosswalk I was using. As the vehicle turning left started their turn, I noticed it was a police vehicle 😛 To my relief, it completed the turn and accelerated rapidly away. The darkness posed some challenges. I ran along the bike lane instead of the sidewalk for railway underpasses. I did trip once (much later) on a raised seam of concrete and thankfully had the soft cushion of grass to fall onto, though I did stub my right toe and lightly scrape my left palm & right forearm. To my embarrassment, that concrete seam was well-illuminated, but I was focused on navigating up the curving accessible path and dodging an adjacent streetlight pole. Ah well, lesson learned--don't miss the seams. The overall run was broken into two parts: 1) 14 miles; and 2) 12.22 miles. Having the Nathan - QuickStart 2.0 6 L Hydration Pack was like having a cheat code--in theory, I felt unrestricted and wondered how far I might run without stopping. On past long runs, I was tied to hydration rest points, which in practice meant convenience stores or home. At most I ran ~5 miles, then hydrated/refueled. Night runs mean many convenience stores are closed. However, with hydration & fuel on my back, I was able to continuously care for myself as I went. The downsides: sloshing noise, added weight, and restriction on cooling the back. My earbuds canceled the noise, the added weight turned out to not be a problem for me, and the cooling was minimized by the nighttime temperatures. The ability to carry the charging case for my Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds meant I could alternately quick-charge them when they reported "Battery Low". I continued to store my phone in the SpeedPocket of my Under Armour SpeedPocket 5" shorts, and ID & credit card in its back zippered pocket. Hitting 10-mile mark and getting into double-digits helped mentally, as did getting to the halfway point. Ran past an Amazon warehouse, then through the empty parking lot of a shopping complex. Passed a security guard sitting at an outdoor patio table reading their phone, while their security vehicle was parked nearby--they didn't even bother to look up at me as I went by. Surprisingly (to me), I encountered quite a bit of traffic while I ran through a Walmart parking lot. Walmart allows individual store managers to determine if they want to let people park overnight in their parking lots. Unfortunately--I don't think they saw me--a vehicle began taking a shortcut by threading their way through painted lanes and parked vehicles, heading straight for me. I paused and stepped to my right toward a parked car. I guess they finally saw me, as they changed course to continue wherever they had decided they wanted to go. Such an odd experience to have almost no other human interaction for hours, then have an unintentional human vs. vehicle game of chicken in a Walmart parking lot at 3:00 a.m. 😅 I finished traversing the rest of the parking lot without incident. Noted the contrast of activity of people in their vehicles: engines running, running lights illuminated, etc. This was my first time running this path at night, and the rest of the surrounding area was peaceful: lawn misters, street lights, and not much else. Finished mile 14 around 4:45 a.m., at home. Tried Vöost Hydrate supplement - Black Cherry tablet for the first time. The 16 ounces of hydration was helpful after sipping small amounts of water. Ate a Clif bar. I had used up nearly my entire water supply, so refilled and headed back out. I ran the 2nd 12-mile segment in reverse, alternating the sides of the roads I ran on for a bit different experience. Stuck to streets as non-illuminated trails seemed dangerous. Smelled the chlorinated humidity of a corporate office park waterfall. Around mile 18, the sky was getting detectably brighter. In my mind, I was thinking, ok, just keep ticking down the miles--just 8 more. Traffic was increasing. Passed the Fremont Tesla factory and had to wait at the main entrance stoplight as workers came and went. Ran through the new adjacent housing, passing people walking their dogs. Run, walk. Run, walk. Started alternately charging the earbuds. A driver turning right ignored me entering the crosswalk 🤬 The sky was bright. Sunrise had occurred but the sun had not yet crested the foothills to the east. Disquietingly, on the last mile or so, my right ankle began feeling slightly sharp pains. Possibly due to frequency of run/walk breaks? I had felt a bit sore intermittently the night before in my right Achilles area, but the pricks of sharp pain were not great. They went away as I ran, thankfully (and did not feel them again later). Reached home and ran the last 0.4 miles around a parking lot. The sun was finally visible. Overall, felt sore but OK--mostly sore in my gluts & upper back quads. Toes were OK, other than the stubbed right toe. Showered, then slept a few hours. This was my first marathon since the San Francisco 2024 Marathon on July 28 (~10 weeks ago). It went OK. My shoes now have 311 miles (of 400) used up (78%).

Comments: Off day before running an unofficial marathon distance on Sunday. The heat wave is still rolling through the San Francisco bay area 🥵 Sunday expected high is 99 F. So probably will end up running when it is dark, if possible. The coolest part of the day will be 70 F at 6:00 a.m. 😝 The real heat of the day will begin after 8:00 a.m. The longer it takes, the harder it will get. My last marathon-length distance was the San Francisco Marathon on July 28. 10 weeks ago. Feels like forever.

A few other people in the gym with us. Overall felt OK, though the 4.0 mph continuous pace exercised my leg muscles in a different way than street surface running.

It looks weird seeing it in reverse. Focused on posture. A few people came in after we started. Can't wait until next week when temperatures start dropping again.

Comments: Treadmill running today on a Star Trac 4TR 4 Series Treadmill W/ 10 Inch LCD Console. First time on this model. Relatively new. No touchscreen, but thankfully powered via wall outlet so it stays on. A few other people coming and going while we exercised. Due to the heat wave and because we watched the 2024 United States vice presidential debate, it was dark by the time we started our exercise, so the gym was what we chose. I ran for 50 minutes straight at ~4.0 mph. It...felt like I was running faster than that, but I guess that is not terribly far off from what I run each hour on the street at an easy pace (~5 mph). It was hard to stare at a white curtain. Wish I had brought ear buds. Thinking ahead to my marathon run this Sunday. Today I researched headphones and almost purchased the Shokz OpenRun Pro 2 (in orange). However, decided I could get by with my current Skullcandy Sesh Evo In-Ear Wireless Earbuds until black Friday. Even with the marathon, I take breaks every 10 miles or so. And I can even take a small pack along if I need to take the charging case. The treadmill run was boring but an acceptable workout. Can't wait until the heat wave is done. Today I read that today marks the first day where the peak sun angle is less than 45 degrees, which means it no longer can provide enough (waves hands) to produce Vitamin D. Until March. So time to resume daily supplement?

Comments: Did not push myself as much this time, as felt a bit sore in my weak links (ankle, lower back, knee). Sped up during the course of the mile. Even stopped momentarily to bump a wayward soccer ball back onto the field. Felt OK at the end. Had warmed up with 1-2 walking laps, then jogging for another 2 laps, I think. Lots of people playing soccer, as usual. Weather was pleasant. Getting cooler. After the laps, we parked near downtown and got dessert & coffees. Back at home, we continued our run to get to the 6 miles total. Nothing unusual. A bit warmer in the afternoon, but overall not too bad. Heat wave is coming, but today was OK.

Visited the San Francisco Zoo & Gardens. Visited years ago. Weather was overcast, slightly foggy, and cool with a mild breeze. Walked a bit then visited Neighborhood Pizza Guy (Menlo Park, California) for dinner. Live music by trio Radio Rail was just starting on the back patio, and was above average 🌟 They covered "When I Paint My Masterpiece" (1971) by The Band (written by Bob Dylan).

Comments: Felt tired due to lack of sleep, but got out the door to get the run in before the high temps in the afternoon. Only had a coffee; just not enough. Felt tired by about halfway through, so slowed down in the 2nd half and just ran at a pace which didn't cause me to feel panting and exhausted. The 1st half I ran at ~9:15/mile run pace, which was my adjusted pace due to ~60 seconds a mile slower due to it being 70 F (i.e., 30 seconds slower for each 5 F above 60 F). Overall my pace was ~30 seconds/mile faster, so I could have ran slower. Listened to an audiobook.

Comments: Moderate cycling day. Focused on driving with quads. No one else came in. Afterward, briefly looked at new weight machine. They do have a squat exercise, so may try that in the future. Still wondering if some way to attach a 3rd-party device to the hand sensors and give feedback to the recumbent stationary cycle.

Comments: Morning run went well today. Cool weather finally. Drank coffee and ran without eating breakfast. Still felt full from Tuesday. Listened to an audiobook. Tried to run at ~9:00/mile run pace, aiming for an overall 10:40/mile pace. A few thoughts as I ran: I could feel the muscles in my quads; I increased turnover on the uphills; I tried to keep my posture straighter.

Comments: Did 3 of 5 things to remember on mid-day runs: 1) Garmin HRM-Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor; 2) Anti-chafing; 3) NipEaze; 4) Sunblock; and 5) Headband ✅ Today the coolest part of the day around sunrise was 21° C (69.8° F) 😛 Dawn had the day off work so we went for a very, very easy run. At about the halfway point we saw a murmuration of birds flowing between tall trees in a park, all chirping excitedly. Saw a few cats lazing in the shade. One tree trimming service was raking the dirt of a front lawn (presumably where the roots of a tree or vegetation once was), dumping an enormous amount of dust in the air 😝 Overall it was a nice light run...about as good as could be done unless we got outside closer to sunrise.

Comments: First mile repeats day since July 14, 2024 (i.e., pre-San Francisco Marathon). Did the 5 things I should always do on longer runs: 1) Garmin HRM-Pro Plus Heart Rate Monitor; 2) Anti-chafing; 3) NipEaze; 4) Sunblock; and 5) Headband ✅ Ran the first miles too fast for conditions. Temperature increased during the run from 21° C to 26° C (69.8° F to 78.8° F). Humidity dropped from 67% to 49%. Wind picked up from 6 km/h to 13 km/h. My legs were cooked in the last mile: dropped to 13-minute mile 😛 I hydrated at the 4-mile mark (ate a Clif bar as well here) & again at the 7-mile mark. Walked 5 minutes between miles. Surface was pretty flat (streets & sidewalks). Started late (around noon). Ran during the hotter part of the day. Despite all this...I made my marathon 4:40 pace time goal 🥳 I.e., 10'40"/mile overall pace. I warmed up for about 1 mile at an easy pace. Afterward, I walked home ~1 mile for a cooldown. I eased off on the last mile as I felt lightheaded when I stopped to rest at a street crossing. 😛 Red flag. Legs felt cooked, so not hard choice. Listened to audiobook. Used Samsung Pay to purchase items as I had forgotten my credit card. The Skullcandy Sesh Evo earbuds lasted the entire run. Still need to figure out a better solution for longer runs. Passed one couple running the other way and waved hello. Otherwise very empty light industrial area. Tried to keep to the shade from trees & structures. It did not feel too difficult to manage a 9:30/mile run pace. Enjoyed the aromatic smells of wood mulch and plants. Crossed the street to give a snowy egret some space. Glimpsed the San Francisco Bay during a few stretches, which reminded me of how lucky I am to live here. White birds lazily circled in the middle distance. Water plants flattened by water runoff. Cars waiting patiently in line for the automatic car wash. A man in a wheelchair pushing past me as I walked between miles, then turning onto the Coyote Creek Lagoon Trail entrance. Two employees with "YES" logos on their black backpacks and badges swinging heading into work on a Sunday, as a waterfall cascades and gurgles. The detritus from a likely abandoned homeless dwelling under a light-rail overpass. Another homeless tent location where the person had their wrenches laid out for bicycle...activities. Also saw one location where a homeless tent may have been off the ground in a tree. I should note I mention this only to give color, not to be mean-spirited. The area is extremely safe to run in. It borders liminal spaces: the Don Edwards SF Bay National Wildlife Refuge, freeway ramps, railways. I wish our society housed them and met their needs. Public outdoor exercise strength-training stations, part of a circuit training course, but long unmaintained and the signs faded or missing. E.g., there is one with an overhead beam that is slanting upward, and I cannot figure out what it is. My left big toenail is still all black. I cannot wait until it starts growing back with healthy nail, if for no other reason than to give me an idea of how long it will take. My lower back still feels slightly sore. I have been exercising lighter and getting more sleep, just in case I am overtraining. Today was the first day of Fall 2024. Listened to the Grateful Dead - U.S. Blues while folding laundry tonight, and the lyric was "Summertime done, come and gone, my, oh, my."

Comments: Off day on Tuesday to run a personal errand. Slept well last night. Light maintenance run in the late afternoon with Dawn. Sunset was lovely. Lots of dogs and cats seen. Park was full of kids & parents. One woman playing volleyball in the park seemed injured and was sitting on the ground, but was surrounded by her companions so in good hands. We saw the gentle orange tom cat again. I'm gaining weight.
