  1. Juno

    El Mariachi… Honestly, personal opinion, Roberto Rodriguez has never come close to making anything this amazing in his career again.

    He has tried to recapture it, but the story, the film techniques, everything in El Mariachi was fresh, new, exciting, well considered and executed. One of my favorite films.
