Yes, Motorcycle Diaries is very good. I have been fascinated by Che ever since visiting his memorial in C*uba in 2001, and reading about his exploits during the revolution. Another good movie, which is sort of a docudrama about Fidel, Che & the Revolution, is Fidel, the Castro Project. Regardless what one may think of Fidel and Che, it is astounding that a ragtag group of 80 or so guys came over on a small boat from Mexico and overthrew Batista's government.

There's a really great song, basically an anthem to Che that is very popular in C*uba. This version has a bunch of pics of Che (and some taken from the Motorcylce Diaries). It's not my favorite version of the song, but I haven't found any really good ones on youtube.

Translation:

Until Always

We learned to love you
from the heights of history
with the sun of your bravery
you laid siege to death

Chorus:

The deep (or beloved) transparency of your presence
became clear here
Commandante Che Guevara

Your glorious and strong hand
fires at history
when all of Santa Clara
awakens to see you

Chorus

You come burning the winds
with spring suns
to plant the flag
with the light of your smile

Chorus

Your revolutionary love
leads you to a new undertaking
where they are awaiting the firmness
of your liberating arm

Chorus

We will carry on
as we did along with you
and with Fidel we say to you:
Until Always, Commandante!

Chorus
