Movies Depicting Colombia
This is a list of films depicting Colombia or specific aspects of it, such as its role in the illegal drug trade or its internal conflict. It is very common that those films (i.e. ''Collateral Damage'', ''Mr. & Ms. Smith'', ''XXX'') fail in the reproduction of the country: some of these mistakes include showing Bogotá or Medellín as sylvatic or coastal regions, using Mexican or Cuban actors (different from Colombians, especially in accent), and a general inaccuracy regarding the depiction of how the conflicts between government and drug-trading cartels work. English * ''American Made'' *'' Bedazzled'' *'' Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia'' *'' Blow'' *'' Bruce Almighty'' *''Clear and Present Danger'' *''Collateral Damage'' *'' Colombiana'' *'' Delta Force 2: The Colombian Connection'' *''Encanto'' *''The Godfather Part III'' *''Green Ice'' *''Licence to Kill'' *''Lord of War'' *''Love in the Time of Cholera'' *''Loving Pablo'' * ''Memoria'' *''Miami Vice'' *'' Mr. & Mrs. Smith'' * ...
