The Ultimate List of Cinco de Mayo Movies

Cinco de Mayo is a holiday that is celebrated on May 5th, primarily in Mexico and by Mexican-Americans in the United States. It commemorates the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. The holiday is not as widely celebrated in Mexico as it is in the United States, where it has become a popular occasion to celebrate Mexican culture and heritage.
