Here is a list of films I have seen in the Spanish Language that are worth viewing. I will not give opinionated reviews, rather just list films that
have a significant viewing value. These are films to practice your Spanish language ability (with and without English-language subtitles).

El Mariachi is a 1992 action film that is the debut of writer/director Robert Rodriguez. The Spanish language film was shot in the northern
Mexican border town of Ciudad Acuña with a mainly amateur cast. The US$ 7,000 production was originally intended for the Mexican home video market,
but executives at Columbia Pictures liked the film so much that they bought the American distribution rights. Columbia eventually spent several times
more than the 16 mm film's original budget on 35 mm transfers, promotion, marketing and distribution.[2]
The success of Rodriguez's directorial debut led him to create two further entries, Desperado (1995) and Once Upon a Time in Mexico (2003), in what
came to be known as the Mariachi Trilogy.
Mexican writer-director Pedro Ultreras draws upon his background as a journalist writing about immigration issues for his feature film debut, 7
SOLES (aka 7 SUNS). Based on real cases Ultreras encountered in his work, the unflinching drama aims to humanize the plight of illegal immigrants by
chronicling the tragic journey of a trafficker (Gustavo Sanchez Parra, AMORES PERROS) smuggling a group of Mexicans across the U.S. border through the
unforgiving landscape of the Sonoran Desert.

Thanks for the 'El Mariachi,' I found its the perfect film to study Spanish with. They speak slow and clear; the director is a Mexican American.
"Mauricio" or "Moco" is actually a Gringo who was reading all of his parts on index cards phonetically since he didn't even speak Spanish during the
filming of this movie (hence, the heavy American accent).
good one Ken!!
