Pan's Labyrinth

Diarios de Motocicleta and Y Tu Mama Tambien were both pretty good. I'd definitely check those out.

El Mariachi

Amores Perros (Love's a Bitch) wasn't bad but it is about 6-7 years old now.
And if you don't mind looking quite a bit farther back, Like Water for Chocolate was... interesting.

Amorres Perros(sp?) was really good. Y tu mama was good too. I think for someone trying to learn spanish, I would go with Pan's Labyrinth only because the narrator and also the girl has a clear vocabulary (thats what i thought at least)

Good movie, but beware of full nudity sex scenes. We had an awkward moment or two watching this at a friend's house.

city of god isn't in Spanish.

mar adentro (the sea inside) - from Spain, so a different accent, but still good.

I'd also recommend Y tu mama tambien and amores perros.

Yeah, that would have to be Ciudad de Dios to be Spanish

Beat me to it. Of course I think he wants very recent movies that are easy to locate.

OP, if you CAN find it, it's a good movie. However, it's the same exact movie as Vanilla Sky (Penelope Cruz even plays the same part), so if you hated that movie then I'd stay away.
