Disfruten, enjoy guys!
Here are 10 of the best Spanish-language films from the last 20 years, spanning Mexico, Spain, Argentina, and beyond:
1. 🇲🇽 Roma (2018) — Alfonso Cuarón A deeply intimate black-and-white drama drawing heavy inspiration from Cuarón's own childhood in Mexico City. It follows Cleo, a young maid for a middle-class family, capturing the look, sound, and feel of 1970s Mexico with extraordinary care. It won the Oscar for Best Director and Best Foreign Language Film.
2. 🇪🇸 Pan's Labyrinth (2006) — Guillermo del Toro Set in the summer of 1944, five years after Franco won the Spanish Civil War, a young girl goes to live with her violent military stepfather — and escapes into a dark fantasy world. A breathtaking blend of fairy tale and historical horror.
3. 🇦🇷 Wild Tales (2014) — Damián Szifron An anthology film where all six separate stories deal with the overarching theme of revenge, doing so through a variety of tones, genres, and styles. Each vignette is irresistibly energetic, charming, and fun, keeping a momentum few films of its kind manage.
4. 🇦🇷 The Secret in Their Eyes (2009) — Juan José Campanella An Argentine mystery thriller following a retired legal counselor who writes a novel about a cold, unsolved case he worked on 25 years ago. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2010, with critics praising its suspenseful plot, brilliant performances, and beautiful cinematography.
5. 🇪🇸 Talk to Her (2002) — Pedro Almodóvar One of Almodóvar's greatest modern works, a devastating character study about two men who strike up an unusual friendship while caring for two women in comas. It blends dance, musical performance, bullfighting, and silent-movie melodrama in the director's signature style, winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
6. 🇲🇽 Amores Perros (2000) — Alejandro G. Iñárritu Still considered one of the greatest Mexican films ever made, it tells three stories that intersect in an explosive central set piece, all united by themes of loyalty and human nature symbolised through dogs. It's violent, impressively dark, and pretty much devoid of hope — which is precisely what makes it so unforgettable.
7. 🇲🇽 Y Tu Mamá También (2001) — Alfonso Cuarón An absolutely unforgettable drama about love and friendship — one of the most endearing queer stories in Mexican cinema, and one of the best road trip movies ever made, starring Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal.
8. 🇪🇸 Pain and Glory (2019) — Pedro Almodóvar Almodóvar draws on his own life in a film about an aging Spanish director revisiting memorable events from his past. Critics praised it as finding the director working "to rewarding effect — and honoring his craft as only a master filmmaker can."
9. 🇦🇷 Argentina, 1985 (2022) — Santiago Mitre A crusading courtroom drama that shines a light on historically somber times with refreshing levity, detailing the real-life trial of Argentina's military junta leaders. It earned an Oscar nomination for Best International Feature Film.
10. 🇲🇽 Emilia Pérez (2024) — Jacques Audiard A recent Certified Fresh hit that became one of the most acclaimed Spanish-language films in years — a bold, genre-defying musical crime drama about a Mexican cartel boss who seeks a new identity. It swept major awards circuits and earned multiple Oscar nominations.
Honourable mentions: The Sea Inside (Spain, 2004), A Fantastic Woman (Chile, 2017), When Evil Lurks (Argentina, 2023).
