Top 8 Famous Spanish films
Watching movies in Spanish is one of the most popular ways for Spanish beginners to practice their Spanish. The best way to use Spanish films to learn this beautiful language is to progress from easy to difficult films, and you will find many great examples in this list of my top 10 films in Spanish.
This is my collection of Spanish films, which I recommend you to look at – these are for advanced-level speakers as they contain complex plots and the actors talk fast. They are in no particular order, and all have a high content of speech – it does not really make sense to watch a movie without speaking Spanish, after all! All the movies are available on DVD, including the Amazon site, but some may also be available online. You can get your hands on more great Spanish films at the Buenos Aires International Film Festival. I hope you like them:
