Any suggestions on appropriate Spanish movies to show in my Spanish 4 class with video/lesson plan? We have two weeks left with seniors and I got through my curriculum

La lengua de la mariposa is always a favorite. Great portrayal of the time period from the view point of small town life in Spain to the effects of the outset of the Civil war on individuals. I think it captures the characters very well.

Excellent movie, my students just saw it, and they enjoyed it very much.

It's a tough subject but el Mar Adentro is a good movie. It's clean, appropriate and beautifully made; it is about assisted suicide, so you'll have to judge your own comfort on that. I did it last year, the kids thought it was a good movie and an interesting point of discussion.

So I’m watching the Wayen’s brothers and haven’t watched this since I was a kid. Obviously, as a child you don’t fully pick up on the heavy themes interwoven to the show’s slapstick or exaggerated comedic nature. Black exploitation, integrity and whatnot. But I’m happy to say, although it’s hard for younger ppl to fully understand. It sits in the subconscious. And in ways, sometimes small, sometimes big.. it influences for the better. Content makers. Be aware of what your putting into the world.
