8. A Walk in the Clouds—This beautifully shot movie is about a young Mexican-American woman who leaves college because she is pregnant with her professor’s baby. She goes home to her traditional family in the Napa Valley, where she meets dreamy Keanu Reeves (a soldier returning from WWII). I love everything about this movie—the way the people lived, and the way they loved and honored their elders and their culture. Favorite sappy quote: She’s like the air to me.
