the one in the late fifties (and that they like to say still goes on).

So, not the Jose Marti one, then, or other, older ones.. But the Che and Castro and Cienfuegos et al one (which was made clear by me also in mentioning the Godfather II, but not everyone has seen that movie, perhaps, or remember that particular sub-plot.. ;))

Please help me out: Best Cuban Revolution (the ongoing one) films or TV/mini-series of all time. Is it Soderbergh's Che double feature.. ? Facto Jun 22, 19:51

Wasn't asking for political opinions at all, dude. {nm} Facto Jun 22, 20:42

for your viewing pleasure....(not exactly what you were looking for, but still a good list) lobogotti Jun 22, 21:01

Impressive list, thanks. It's got "The Good Shepherd", "Che" and "Thirteen Days", but is missing lots of others. Facto Jun 22, 21:11

oh yeah, I've seen MDiaries....I have a friend that refuses to watch it (because of Che) and we argue about the film all the time. {nm} lobogotti Jun 22, 21:13

I've met plenty of those types. I used to debate a lot of them in a FB group called "Che was a mass murderer, and your t-shirt s*cks". Facto Jun 22, 21:24

Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights? {nm} RazorHawk Jun 22, 20:23

I believe my sister and mother enjoyed that one together... They are both completely uninterested in history, geopolitics etc. Facto Jun 22, 20:45

X-Men: First class, even touched upon this to some extent, although more the "Thirteen Days" part of it, than the revolution before and unti Facto Jun 22, 20:47

I Am Cuba [1964] & Memories of Underdevelopment [1968] SakowskyBrothers Jun 22, 22:47

Excellent advice, thanks! A minor note: The missile crisis was in October 1962 (relevant for X-Men: First Class timeline), so 6 years before Facto Jun 22, 23:39

I know, it's not that it took that long to make it took that long to be released considering the politcal climate at the time. {nm} SakowskyBrothers Jun 23, 10:04

Great choices ! -- I would also suggest watching Wim Wenders' documentary Buena Vista Social Club (1999)... joeoftexas Jun 23, 07:14
