And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself (2003)
MEDIUM LEVEL VIOLENCE, ADULT THEMES
Antonio Banderas delivers a powerful, larger-than-life performance as the title character of this incredible true story of how Mexican Revolutionary, Pancho Villa, allowed a Hollywood crew to film him in battle, altering the course of film and military history in the process. The adventure gets its start when early movie giants D.W. Griffith (Colm Feore) and Harry Aiken (Jim Broadbent), send a junior executive, Frank Thayer (Eion Bailey) to Mexico to persuade the cash-strapped, publicity-hungry Villa to let them film his revolution. Stepping into the literal crossfire, Thayer's crew risks their lives in the mingling of fiction and reality.

This was surprisingly good. I rented it because it had Alan Arkin in it and since falling in love with him after Little Miss Sunshine I thought I would give it a go. Antonio Banderas is amazing as Pancho Villa.

I really like this movie, one of the best performances by Antonio Banderas, educative as well from the perspective view of the American filmakers of the time.
