Spanish (Language) Film

I don't have many Spanish speaking friends locally, so I like to watch movies to keep my ear fresh, especially for Spanish and less frequently heard accents. Unfortunately, I'm not as easily amused as I used to be. I recently revisited movies that I used to think were brilliant e.g. Jamón, jamón made me howl in the theatre, but years later, even Penelope doesn't charm me so much. Even Almodovar makes me wince. I haven't been to an art house theatre since I came out West, so maybe I miss being part of an audience too. I remember the extra special bit of enjoyment when the minority part of the audience who didn't need the subtitles would laugh at something that didn't translate, or was too culturally specific to cross the divide. It's been 12 years since I came out West and I feel that my language skills are finally beginning to languish (at first, they got better as I stopped using the palabritas of calo I was accustomed to using with friends back home). One movie that does stand up, IMO, is from Argentina, called El Lado Oscuro del Corazón. It doesn't make me laugh as much any more, but it has an interesting depth to it that still appeals. And I gots to get me one of those buttons... and a girl who knows how to fly, and maybe a girl with bigotes. So, please share with me your favourite Spanish language movie(s), so I can add to my film collection... Maybe, I'll be reminded of some other flicks and post them here too.
