The Milagro Beanfield War (1988)
Captures Rural Northern New Mexico Culture

I agree with "Dawg!" that someone who was not from NM might not get this movie.
I like the Fiddler On The Roof guy, the foothills scenery, my first introduction to Sonja Braga.
The movie does the best job I've ever seen of capturing the essence of small town Northern New Mexico culture - regular folks with regular problems addressing them the best they can. Every culture has its quirky way of addressing life, and this movie depicts this one pretty accurately.
I love it, except for one thing: no DVD.
