Lord, I fell in love with Drew Barrymore because of that flick. But it was about as realistic as "Posse".

I can't help but agree with this. I've seen the size of the protests and the volume of illegals in my state. I just hope the illegals realize that they're being used. When the government don't want them no more and can't use them no more, they won't be needed no more.

I personally haven't seen the movie, who won?

Is it my imagination, or did you just sign yourself as AC?
BTW, I know the illegals are out there, but I never see them. Citizens, residents, visa holders, illegals--they all look the same to me. All I go by are the census figures to determine the Latino population growth.

It would have been in my top ten....
. I noticed you placed "Little Big Man" in your top five, excellent choice! That movie takes us through the range of all of our emotions... several times.
