For those of us who live in the US, finding some of Joaquim's films on video
are a real challenge! I've not wanted to get into selling things on the site,
but I've had so many requests for help I've decided to work with Amazon to help bring
you his movies.
LA CUCARACHA
La
Cucaracha
This is the most recent movie available
on video. Joaquim has a fairly good-sized role in this, and of course he's excellent.
VENDETTA
VENDETTA
Originally a "Made for HBO Movie". I liked
this movie. A bit violent for some people's tastes, but still I feel it's well-done. Joaquim's
role in this film is large enough to get a real taste of his abilities. A must-see for
Joaquim fans.
ONE MAN'S HERO
ONE MAN'S HERO
As of this date, this film is
only available in DVD format. Gripping film, and a good role for
Joaquim.
DESPERADO
DESPERADO
One of Joaquim's best known roles was
as Bucho. And the scene with the car phone is a classic movie line. (in fact
just overheard someone quoting that line just the other night!).
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER
Like many other fans, this is the
mnovie in which I noticed Joaquim. (and have been a huge fan ever since). You
can't NOT see this movie!
ONLY YOU
ONLY YOU
If you think Joaquim can only play
evil drug lords... think again! Only You is a light-hearted romantic comedy. This
movie sparked a lot of "Bonnie Hunt Envy" among Joaquim's fans. Another must see!
DEAD MAN'S WALK
DEAD MAN'S WALK
This is part of Larry McMurty's
western series (part of the Lonesome Dove Collection). It's a smaller role
for Joaquim, but still worth seeing. I liked the series itself.
THE FENCING MASTER
THE FENCING MASTER
I've not seen this one yet (but
I plan to!).
PRICELESS BEAUTY
PRICELESS BEAUTY
Okay, I adnit it. I didn't like this
film. Joaquim's role is rather small and his character is killed almost immediately.
(although you do have to stick around as his character comes back briefly. Very dark
film both in mood and film lighting quality.
WOMEN (ELLES)
WOMEN (ELLES)
This will soon be available on DVD. (I think
I'm going to have to get a DVD player...)
