At the risk of straying off thread, my favorite Mexican movie is Y Tu Mama Tambien. In the movie, the beach they go to is called "Boca del Cielo".
It's a bit of a mystery as to where it was actually filmed. Anyone know?

"Pray for the Wildcats" Staring Andy Griffith, William Shatner, the gay dad from Brady bunch and another guy as dirt bikers in Baja. It's a crack up.
There's more information at Wikipedia and it's available on DVD, although I think it's a bootleg.

Great movie indeed! A wild guess on the location...somewhere in Oaxaca perhaps?

ok i watched this rental some monthsn ago, there are wonderful scenes of this large hacienda and vineyard plantation - has to be guad valle or
someplace between tecate and ensenada, a white building/mansion.
anyway has anybody seen this one and can they identify the shoot location?
and there is a lot of really nice local scenery too.
movie is so-so, some good action .

YES! The Baja person's cult movie is 'BAJO CALIFORNIA: The Limit of Time'
Those of you who attended our Viva Baja Cactus tour of Tijuana saw the English version of this film that was shown on the Sundance Channel back in
2001.
New Spanish only versions can be purchased in Mexico.
See the Baja highway, San Francisco de la Sierra, the giant cave paintings, the Arce family tree, and a whole lot more!

I believe you can also purchase "Bajo California: The Limit of Time" on Amazon.com as well, but, again, only the Spanish language version, without
subtitles. However, I seem to recall that the dialogue is a mixture of Spanish & English? Great film that captures the beauty and spirit of Baja.

Let´s not forget "The Old Man and the Sea".
John Houston directed this wonderful movie with dialogue taken from the book.

Yes, it is a more visual film than verbal, so if you can't get the English sub-titled one, no great loss.
The movie does begin in English, as the main character 'Damian' is from Laguna Beach and his wife speaks to him in English, as he drives south
listening to her cassette message and her letter he receives at Santa Rosalia.
Again, a fun movie for us Baja travelers to watch...

Spencer Tracy was great... However, that wasn't Baja if I remember correctly... Cuba maybe?

I just tried to get all those above mentioned films on Netflix and the only one available is Y Tu Mama...
I was expecting better. They have a good Kurosawa collection

A bit of a stretch, but...
...these were 'filmed' partially in Baja (Rosarito)...probably most remembered was 'Titanic'....I could recognize some of those 'waves' out there off
the coast!
Here's the complete list...
http://www.imdb.com/List?locations=rosarito&&substri...
How many remember that outstanding movie on the above list...
Tell Them Johnny Wadd Is Here (1976)
Now there's a real winner!
Here's another longer list:

According to my clock...anytime is \'BAJA TIME\' & as Jimmy Buffett says,
\"It doesn\'t use numbers or moving hands It always just says now...\"
