But Miklo is quick to prove himself to their gang Vatos Locos, busting out the back window of a rival's car while they spray paint their tag on VL's turf.

His cousins - Cruz (Jesse Borrego) and Paco (Benjamin Bratt) - welcome the boy back with somewhat open arms, despite the fact that his abusive father left him passing for white (with light skin and blue eyes), which makes him a liability in the barrio. Miklo (Damian Chapa) is coming home to East LA, just a few weeks away from his birthday and being off probation. Hackford's making a '70s pulp opus in '93, with enough brash machismo on display to make Oliver Stone jealous. It's big, broad, corny, and sports a score by Bill Conti ( Rocky ), whose bombastic brass connects the picture to the period better than any amount of production design ever could. Operating like a hood telenovela crossed with Sergio Leone's One Upon A Time In America ('84), Hackford lingers on the details of the setting and its people, as Blood In, Blood Out adapts the true life experiences of Jimmy Santiago Baca (who co-wrote the screenplay) into a sprawling melodrama about ethical codes, masculinity, and the unbreakable bonds of family.

Yet between those professional milestones came Blood In, Blood Out: Bound By Honor ('93), Hackford's three-hour crime epic that follows three Chicano friends as they navigate the gangland underworld of East Los Angeles from '73 - '84. His biggest moment in the spotlight came during the aughts - when he helped Jamie Foxx win an Academy Award with Ray ('04), his biopic of the iconic blind piano man Ray Charles. The '90s got somewhat stranger, as he crafted one of the most underrated Stephen King adaptations in Dolores Claiborne ('97), and cast Al Pacino as Satan Himself in The Devil's Advocate ('97). romantic trial-by-fire, An Officer and a Gentleman ('82), to the Jeff Bridges/Rachel Ward football player neo noir Against All Odds ('84), and the Gregory Hines/Mikhail Baryshnikov dance picture White Nights ('85). The '80s found him helming everything from the Richard Gere/Louis Gossett Jr. Taylor Hackford's enjoyed a rather strange, fascinating Hollywood career. The fifty-fourth entry into this unbroken backlog is the Chicano gangland epic, Blood In, Blood Out: Bound By Honor. All in all, a mountain of movies to conquer.

Some will be favorites, others oddities, with esoteric eccentricities thrown in for good measure. Not that there’s anything wrong with filmic “comfort food” (God knows we all have titles we frequently return to when we crave that warm and fuzzy feeling), but if you love movies, you should never stop searching for the next title that’s going to make your “To Watch” list that much more insurmountable.

Ostensibly an extension of Everybody’s Into Weirdness (may that series rest in peace), The Savage Stack is a compilation of the odd and magnificent motion pictures you probably should be watching instead of popping in The Avengers for the 2,000th time. This column is here to make that problem worse. Whether it’s a pile of DVDs and Blu-rays haphazardly amassed atop our television stands, or a seemingly endless digital queue on our respective streaming accounts, there’s simply more movies than time to watch them. There’s always going to be – for lack of a better term – a stack of films we’ve been meaning to get to.
