Anymore good Latin American movies?


Can someone please suggest any good movies from the South America continent, from Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, or any other Latino country.

reply

I enjoyed El secreto de sus ojos (The Secret in Their Eyes) and Nueve Reinas (Nine Queens), which are both from Argentina, and City of God, from Brazil.

The Che part 1 and part 2 films staring Benicio del Torro are both very good (especially part 1) and take place in Argentina, Cuba and Bolivia, I think.

There are also some good films from Spain by directors like Pedro Almodovar and Julio Medem.

The Motorcylce Diaries springs to mind, although now that I think about it, I think Che's character is the guy who played Octavio. I think. Worth a watch anyway

De la calle (Streeters) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0279765/
I stumbled upon this film years ago on tv and was really impressed, unfortunately haven't been able to find it anywhere since then

Sin Nombre is really good too. its about immigration.

Pretty much all movies starring Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal are worth watching (this includes Bad Education, which is a Spanish film). Besides those, I also liked El Secreto de Sus Ojos. There may be many others. I just know those that I can catch on the big screen in the North America.
