I'm learning Spanish so I figured it might help if I watched some spanish films. Motorcycle Diaries, so far that's all I've come up with. Any suggestions?

Thanks for all your suggestions, I work in a library which has quite a large dvd section so I just ordered 20 of the movies that you've all recommended. Keep them coming.

Amores Perros (from the director of 21 grams); Y tu Mama Tambien; Jamon Jamon; Volver (brilliant), Maria full of Grace ; Luminarias; Nicotina; there are loads of excellent films in spanish. You can use the subtitle option on your DVD player to help you. Good luck.

If you can get hold of it you should def watch Tesis, really good film, v scary. Cuarta Planta and Sobrevivré are also v good.
Would also recommend that you watch any film you know quite well in Spanish with English subtitles cos the most important thing is actually hearing the language.
Try to avoid the South American (Y Tu Mama Tambien, Como Agua Para Chocolate) films because the accent can be quite difficult for you to understand if you are still only learning!

Abre Los Ojos (Open your eyes), Jamon Jamon, Amores Perros (Mexican, but would help with the language still), any Pedro Almodovar film in the 1980s (IMDb it)

yeah, i just saw a movie while i was staying in a hotel. it's in spanish but subtitled in english. and it's really a modern movie. not some old spanish movie you'd watch in spanish class. it's called "maria full of grace" it has to do with drugrunning but it's really good. trust me.

why not watch films in english and put spanish subtitles on? then you will recognise what people are saying and can match the words to what your reading?
