Vidal is using a Luger P-08 pistol. When he "fires" it, although smoke can be seen coming out of the barrel, the distinctive cartridge eject mechanism of the P-08 doesn't move, nor do any spent cartridges eject. This is due to a prohibition on pyrotechnics in the forest used for filming and the sound of gunfire and muzzle flash having been added later. See more "

One day, eluding her keepers, the Princess escaped. Once outside, the brightness blinded her and erased every trace of the past from her memory. She forgot who she was and where she came from.

The funny story of mad but kind and chivalrous elderly nobleman Don Quixote who, aided by his squire Sancho Panza, fights windmills that are seen as dragons to save prostitute Dulcinea who is seen as a noblewoman.

Nominated for 1 Oscar. Another 2 wins & 2 nominations. See more awards "

Storyline

This musical version of Don Quixote is framed by an incident allegedly from the life of its author, Miguel de Cervantes. Don Quixote is the mad, aging nobleman who embarrasses his respectable family by his adventures. Backed by his faithful sidekick Sancho Panza, he duels windmills and defends his perfect lady Dulcinea (who is actually a downtrodden whore named Aldonza). Written by Reid Gagle

Taglines:

A Musical Adventure!

Did You Know?

Trivia

All of Aldonza's songs were either slightly altered or cut. "It's All The Same" was presented complete but had a few of its lyrics rewritten by Joe Darion. The song "Aldonza" had two of its verses cut, so that the version heard in the film begins with the verse "For a lady has modest and maidenly airs . . . " The second verse of the deathbed reprise of "Dulcinea" was left out of the film, and the song "What Does He Want of Me", which Aldonza sings (in the stage version) after receiving Quixote's "missive", was completely omitted. See more "

Goofs

Both the film and stage performances of the play on which it's based depict the elderly Miguel de Cervantes y Saavedra as able to use both hands. The real Cervantes had a paralyzed left hand from his wound in the Battle of Lepanto (1571) when he was a 20-something. See more "

Quotes

The Governor : We generally fine a prisoner all his possessions.
Miguel de Cervantes : All of them.
The Governor : It's not practical to take more.

Crazy Credits

Practically all of the actors in the film, with the exception of those who play the Captain of the Guard and the soldiers of the Spanish Inquisition respectively, play dual or triple roles, but only five of them are actually listed in the credits as having done so. All of the other actors are listed as if they only played one role in the film, as the prisoners generally aren't given names. See more "

Alternate Versions

The DVD features the MGM logo in the credits, but not the United Artists one, although the film is a United Artists release.

Storyline

Based on a true story. In 1957 a rag-tag, shoeless, poor group of kids from Monterrey, Mexico shocked the world by winning 13 games in a row and the Little League World Series in the only perfect game ever pitched in the Championship. These kids, led by their priest and a down-and-out former major leaguer embark on a journey through the southern US and up into Williamsport, PA for the Championship game. They encountered many adversities including nearly being deported and the bigotry that wouldn't allow them into certain restaurants or travel on certain buses. They never lost their faith and eventually captured the hearts of both nations. This is a heart-warming inspirational story in the tradition of "Rudy", "Hoosiers", "Coach Carter" or "Friday Night Lights". Written by John Bradly

Retired Mexican-American chef Martin Naranjo (Hector Elizondo) shares a Los Angeles, California house with his three gorgeous, but single, adult daughters. Though he long ago lost his ability to taste, Martin still lives to cook incredibly lavish dinners for his loved ones and to serve them in a family-style ritual at traditional sit-down meals. Although the women humor their father's old-fashioned ways, each of them is searching for fulfillment outside the family circle. College student Maribel (Tamara Mello) is growing increasingly frustrated with the singles scene and wants a steady man; gorgeous career woman Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors) is fed up with her boyfriend and his wandering eye; meanwhile, eldest daughter Leticia (Elizabeth Peña), who has suppressed her own romantic longings, senses something missing in her life. Things take a turn for the romantic when Dad, a widower, meets a vivacious divorcée on the lookout for a mate and each of his daughters, in turn, finds someone. ... Written by Sujit R. Varma

: I'm so attracted to mathematics because of the pure logic in it. Numbers are always rational, predictable. But without warning and amid all those harmonious things, appears the number Pi. One number, mysterious, infinite. It's a number that is alive, constantly forging it own path, never following patterns, established or known and that is how I realized mathematics aren't simply logical, they're also magical. That is what Margarita was to me... magical.

Storyline

By 2008, more than 25 percent of major league baseball players were born in Latin America. At 19, Miguel "Sugar" Santos, a serious kid from the Dominican Republic, signs with Kansas City. He flies to Phoenix for tryouts and is sent to the Class A team "The Swing" in the fictional town of Bridgetown, Iowa, where he lives with a farm family. Thus begins his odyssey: leaving his mom and girlfriend; living in an alien culture; learning English; overcoming jitters; working hard; achieving early success; navigating friendships, occasional racism, and a woman's mixed signals; dealing with an injury; trying performance-enhancing drugs; and, searching for his place in the world. Will he make it to the Majors; will he play in New York?

An award-winning film that has been called "A Must Watch" by Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus and Director of The Hunger Games, Gary Ross. Living on One Dollar follows the journey of four friends as they set out to live on just $1 a day for two months in rural Guatemala. They battle hunger, parasites, and extreme financial stress as they attempt to survive life on the edge. An unimaginable reality for most young Americans, the challenges they face are real and plague over 1.1 billion people around the world. While the friends quickly learn there are no easy answers, the generosity and strength of Rosa, a 20 year old woman, and Chino, a 12 year old boy, give them resilient hope that there are effective ways to make a difference.

Located high in the Peruvian Andes there is an ancient city known as Machu Picchu, it is a ruin that appears to defy explanation. Who were the mysterious people that built this extraordinary place and for what reason did they build it in this particular location?

With no defensive wall it doesn't look like a fortress, instead there are fountains and small pools, temples and strange alters cut from granite but little else to explain how a people who didn't have iron tools or even the wheel could have created such a masterpiece and why.

For the first time new research is finally solving these mysteries by examining the bodies and bones of the people who once lived here, there are also clues to be found far below the city and underneath it and in the stories of mummies. Will all these revelations finally lay the Ghosts of Machu Picchu to rest?

Inside: A guide to top series and recommendations for Spanish shows on Netflix.
As Netflix's popularity has skyrocketed in recent years, they've been busy expanding their selection of Spanish-language shows.

And these aren't limited to your grandma's soapy telenovelas, either: today, Netflix has something riveting in Spanish for everyone. With shows set in Spain and across Latin America, you can find everything from BBC-type dramas to reality TV.

I'm a Spanish-speaking mom and teacher, but not a native speaker. I still need lots of Spanish input. And lucky for me, improving my language skills can be as easy as setting the audio and subtitles to Spanish, and getting into a good Spanish series.

Remember that Netflix regularly adds and pulls shows- just let me know if you catch something I should update. I also have a whole page dedicated to lists of movies in Spanish for your Friday nights, in case you need more ideas! Below, I've included trailers so you can take a peek at each one, and fill up your Netflix queues with binge-worthy series.

One more note: this list was not created for teachers wanting Spanish shows to watch in class, with learners. If that's you, don't worry! I have a whole post on Spanish TV shows to use in class and for learners.

Spanish Shows on Netflix: What to Watch

Ready? Let's get started.

1. La Casa de Papel

The massively popular show Money Heist, as it's known in English, is now the #1 Original Foreign Show on Netflix. A group of burglars joins together to pull off the most daring robbery in the history of Spain. The original plan was to pull of the perfect crime: an infiltration of the Royal Mint of Spain, that would leave them rich and leave no victims. As plans go awry, relationships and loyalty are tested in this psychological thriller.
Set in Spain, Watch if you liked Breaking Bad, The Italian Job, or Inception.

2. Velvet

This is a gorgeous series if you like period pieces and don't mind a little soapy drama. The main two character weren't actually my favorites: what makes the show are the supporting characters. The aesthetics, clever dialogue, and lively personalities, make this one of my personal favorite Spanish shows on Netflix. (Velvet Colección, a spin-off series, is now available as well!)
Set in Spain. Watch if you liked Mad Men and Downton Abbey.

4. Alta Mar

Smuggled passengers. Buried family secrets. Romance, intrigue, stormy seas, an 600 passengers on luxury shop bound for Brazil would make for an interesting enough voyage- until the murders begin. This murder mystery set in the 1940's will remind you of the show Velvet, with gorgeous scenery and plenty of drama to go around, though with faster-paced storytelling and more suspense.
Spanish cast, set on the Atlantic Ocean. Watch if you liked Downton Abbey, Sherlock, and Agathie Christie.

5. Siempre Bruja

Starring an Afro-Colombian time-traveling witch, Siempre Bruja mixes the feel of a historical telenovela with modern supernatural twists. Carmen, a slave living in the 17th century, is condemned to be burned at the stake after her owners discover she and their son are in love. Carmen makes a deal to with a wizard and finds herself in modern-day Cartagena, where she must navigate her new surroundings on the condition that she not use her powers. Pros: the series features a black women as the lead, with a strong cast and gorgeous scenery. It's much cleaner than most shows and could work to show in high school classes. Cons: there is so much potential with the story, but the show delivers a shallow treatment of serious themes, depending on more than one racial cliché along the way.
Set in Colombia. Watch if you liked Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Arrow, or Alias Grace.

6. Luis Miguel

A dramatized telling of Luis Miguel's life and rise to fame as the Sol de México. The story moves between his early years of stardom and childhood, exploring the disappearance of his mother and tortured relationship with his father. Not an easy watch in terms of the family dynamics, but Luis Miguel just might be a breath of fresh air for viewers looking for a violence-free Latin American show.
Set mainly in Mexico. Watch if you liked Nashville or Empire.

8. La Niña

Based on real-life events, La niña tells the incredible story of a girl forcibly recruited by the guerillas in Colombia, who then escapes and tries to reintegrate into society. Although she manages to reunite with her family and even gets into medical school, her past haunts her. Unlike many of the other series in this list, it gives a in-depth look into everyday life for working-class families in Latin America.
Set in Colombia. Watch if you'd like Grey's Anatomy, Jessica Jones, and a bit of telenovela drama mixed together.

9. El Ministerio del Tiempo

El Ministerio del Tiempo is a top-secret time-travel agency that functions loosely under the government of Spain. As the series opens, three new agents join forces to guard the doors of time: a 16th-century soldier, a 21st-century paramedic, and a 19th-century student. This one is packed with history and art as the trio defends time itself, preventing intruders from using time travel for their own gain.
Set in Spain, mostly. Watch if you liked Dr. Who, The Last Kingdom, or Orphan Black.

10. Las Chicas del Cable

From the creators of Gran Hotel and Velvet, this show is packed with favorite actors from both shows, as well as El Barco and El Internado. It follows 4 women who work for a cable company in the 20's, a turbulent time of old traditions vs. progressivism.I have a love-hate relationship with this one, but check it out if you like gorgeous period dramas, with lots of drama.
Set in Spain. Watch if you liked Peaky Blinders, Mad Men, or Downton Abbey.

11. Morocco: Tiempos de Guerra

Set in the 1920's, a group of wealthy nurses is sent to the Moroccan front during the Rif War and must adapt to the harsh conditions and reality of wartime. If you weren't ready to let Gran Hotel go, Cristina is back as the star of this romantic drama.
Set in Morocco and Spain. Watch if you liked Call the Midwife, Downton Abbey, or Land Girls.

14. Go! Vive a tu Manera

Thought there weren't any G-rated shows in Spanish on Netflix? Think again! A new Argentinian show, Go! is a musical series from the same producers of Violetta and Soy Luna created for a young audience. Mía Cáceres is a talented young singer who gets a scholarship to Saint Mary, an elite prep school with a prestigious music program. There she meets both friends and arch-enemies (namely, the daughter of the school's owners who is determined to sabotage her musical dreams).
Set in Argentina. Watch if you liked Glee.

15. El Chapo

It's a reasonable criticism that too many shows/movies paint Latin America as full of drugs, violence, etc. And this show was hard to watch for the violence, same as Pablo Escobar. This one is well-done, in my opinion, and provides the history of El Chapo's rise to power. (It's interesting to watch alongside Kate del Castillo's documentary "The Day I Met Chapo," also available on Netflix).
Set in Mexico. Watch if you liked Narcos and Ozark.

18. La Reina del Flow

Yeimy is a talented 17-year-old from a working-class neighborhood, with big dreams of a life dedicated to music. After her parents are killed by a narco, she is betrayed by a close friend and loses 17 years of her life to prison under false accusation. When she finally leaves, she can think of nothing but revenge- and must alter her life completely in order to get it.
Set in Colombia. Watch if you liked Empire and/or Revenge.

19. El Internado

Set in a remote boarding school, both students and teachers become involved in uncovering dark secrets from the school's past, as strange events begin to occur in this mystery-thriller.
Set in Spain.

22. El Barco

Another Spanish mystery, El barco follows a group of young people on a boat during a global cataclysm, who believe themselves to be the only people left on earth. We got really into this one initially, though my interest waned a bit with the extreme drama every episode, hah. If you liked El internado and Gran hotel, you'll probably like this one!
Set in Spain. Watch if you like Lost.

23. Made in Mexico

Can't get enough of reality TV in English? Made in Mexico follows 9 Mexican "socialites" whose lives connect in some way, and who move within the wealthy circles of Mexico City. The camera shifts between their public interactions (brunches, dates, chats in nightclubs, family get-togethers), the drama that ensues, and subsequent interviews off-stage. Made in Mexico represents an interesting expansion of Spanish shows on Netflix beyond dramas.
Set in Mexico. Watch if you liked Real Housewives or following the Kardashians.

26. Bala Loca

In this political thriller, a group of journalists join together to fight corruption in post-Pinochet Chile, led by veteran journalist Mauro Murillo (who has suffered an accident and is now confined to a wheelchair). As they form their online newspaper, one journalist is murdered. Mauro's investigation into her death reveals a dark web of corruption between government, businesses and people.

Set in Chile Watch if you liked The Blacklist, Homeland, or House of Cards.

27. Pablo Escobar: El Patrón del Mal

If you binged your way through Narcos, you really should give this one a watch. While Narcos narrates from a American perspective, Pablo Escobar is told directly from the Colombian and provides an extensive, gripping look into the life and legacy of Escobar. Though not a historical documentary, it is very well done and I highly recommend it.
Set in Colombia. Watch if you liked Narcos, Breaking Bad, and shows from the History Channel.

28. Mar de Plástico

A detective searches for answers after the murder of a girl in southern Spain. The region is called the "plastic sea," from so many greenhouses in the area. The drama unfolds against the backdrop of interracial conflicts between the workers in the greenhouses.
Set in Spain.

30. Sobreviviendo a Escobar

If you haven't gotten your fill of narco-theme shows, Sobreviviendo Pablo Escobar was a fascinating follow-up to Pablo Escobar (and Narcos). It details what happened the Escobar's people and rival cartels after his death.
Set in Colombia. Watch if you like Narcos.

Cast overview, first billed only:

Storyline

Retired Mexican-American chef Martin Naranjo (Hector Elizondo) shares a Los Angeles, California house with his three gorgeous, but single, adult daughters. Though he long ago lost his ability to taste, Martin still lives to cook incredibly lavish dinners for his loved ones and to serve them in a family-style ritual at traditional sit-down meals. Although the women humor their father's old-fashioned ways, each of them is searching for fulfillment outside the family circle. College student Maribel (Tamara Mello) is growing increasingly frustrated with the singles scene and wants a steady man; gorgeous career woman Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors) is fed up with her boyfriend and his wandering eye; meanwhile, eldest daughter Leticia (Elizabeth Peña), who has suppressed her own romantic longings, senses something missing in her life. Things take a turn for the romantic when Dad, a widower, meets a vivacious divorcée on the lookout for a mate and each of his daughters, in turn, finds someone. ... Written by Sujit R. Varma

NETFLIX SPAIN MOVIES

Ready? Let's get started.

A wealthy businessman is accused of murder and seeks the help of a famous lawyer to mount a defense as the last hours of his trial wind down. His storytelling of those events takes us down a darkening path of twists and turns, and unexpected revelations. I multitasked quite a bit while preparing this blog post and watched movies, but this movie had my full attention, and me on the edge of my seat. If you like suspense, this is a must-watch with incredible acting.

Info: Mystery, Thriller | Spanish/English Audio, Subtitles | 2017

A light-hearted comedy about two Spaniards who can't find a job in Spain (despite being over-qualified on paper). Fed up with Spanish life, they move to Berlin in hopes of finding work, only to end up in a café. Life in Berlin comes with new romance, but also a host of cultural differences to navigate.

Info: Romantic Comedy | Spanish/English Audio, Subtitles | 2015

Four Basque terrorists are trying to plan an attack on Spain. They wait for orders from "above," in a Spanish apartment, and have to deal with everyday life and neighbors while unsure of the future. A dark comedy that was surprisingly compelling and funny.

"Cuando el sur y el norte chocan, el conflicto alcanza proporciones épicas." Spanish culture collides when a Sevillian falls for a woman from Basque- even though he's never before left his hometown. I didn't love the chemistry between the main actors, but still enjoyable and cute.

The couple we met in the Spanish Affair (Rafa and Amaia) have broken up. Amaia is engaged to a Catalonian her father doesn't like, so he enlists help from Rafa to win her back and break off the new engagement. I enjoyed this one more than the first and found it more convincing, especially the storylines between the supporting characters. If you like the Spanish Affair, definitely follow up with this one.

Based on a true story about a man with a young family who is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Determined to resist the disease as long as he can, he commits to training for an Ironman- with the help of his father-in-law, who has troubles of his own. I sobbed by the end; keep tissues nearby for this heart-wrenching and inspiring story.

Starring Mario Casas, Bajo la piel de lobo tells the story of an isolated, gruff trapper who buys a wife. I am not sure how to describe the film: silent, spare, difficult, and yet compelling. You can't go in expecting a neat, packaged conclusion, but it's well done with good actors.

It's 1956, and an American film company is making a movie about Isabel and Ferdinand, at the request of Franco- and Macarena Granada, now a big name in Hollywood, returns to her native Spain after 20 years to star in it. I found it slow and forced overall, but there's a deep undercurrent of complicated Spanish history and a cast of actors that many viewers will enjoy nonetheless.

A group of people are trapped in a bar in Madrid, after two people are shot and mysteriously disappear. As they try to figure out what is happening outside- terrorism? the end of the world?- tensions and suspicions rise inside the bar.

A couple who got together in a fairytale high school romance is getting married. The week of the wedding turns nightmare as everything goes wrong, quirky friends and family in tow.

Different from the usual rom-com storyline, this romantic "dramady" follows a couple who meet in a coffeeshop and decide to maintain an out-the-box-friendship: no exchange of personal information, and no romance. Things go beautifully until their personal lives intersect with fantasy, and they must confront reality.

Four friends are in business together, and have committed tax fraud. If one of them volunteers to go to jail for seven years, the company came remain intact and the other friends can walk free. The question is which one? They hire a consultant to help decide who it should be.

A Spanish woman travels to Africa in hoping to unearth old family secrets, after finding a letter her dying father left behind. The story moves between her search and forbidden love in the time of colonialism.

A coming-of-age story about a troubled teenager figuring out life and getting into trouble with his best friend. Poignant at times, tough at others, A Cambio de Nada explores adolescence in the context of trouble at school, trouble at home, and finding friendship.

A young boy is kidnapped, and his suspected kidnapper gets off on a technicality. The boy's mother, a respected attorney, takes matters into her own hands and events soon spiral out of control. (I didn't actually watch this one- after becoming a mom I just can't handle scary things involving kids!)

A young woman's body is found in the woods, and female inspector Salazar is put on the case. As she investigates the murder and begins to follow the case of a serial killer, she must confront her own past. (I didn't watch this one either, but if you like serial killer murder-mysteries, this one's for you.)

Cast

Cast overview, first billed only:

Storyline

On November 25, 1960, the bodies of three sisters were found near the bottom of a cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official daily 'El Caribe' reports that it had been an accident, but it does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it mention the sisters' fierce opposition to the General Trujillo's dictatorship. This is their story: how Minerva started the tragedy by refusing Trujillo; how Patria became an opponent from the church itself; how Maria Teresa joined the revolution through the love. And how they lost their wings, but not their courage. They were Las Mariposas - "The Butterflies". Written by Diana Heche <dianaheche@hotmail.com>

Taglines:

Women had their place. Hers was in the revolution.

Trivia

On December 17, 1999, the United Nations General Assembly designated November 25th, the anniversary of the day of the murder of the Mirabal sisters, as the annual date for the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women" in commemoration of the sisters' sacrifice. See more "

Inside: The best Latin American movies on Netflix

It can be overwhelming to sit down for a night of Netflix, especially when you're trying to sift through lesser-known films. I've spent the last month marathon-ing my way through Spanish-language movies and shows, and this post focuses on titles related to Latin America.

Argentina

There are quite a few titles available, so it's probably easier to jump over to my post on the Best Argentinian Movies on Netflix.

Mexico

There are lots of Mexican movies as well, so I've got a post on Mexican movies on Netflix coming your way as well. I will link to it as soon as it's live!

Guatemala

An indigenous Guatemalan family arranges a marriage for their 17-year-old daughter, Maria, to the foreman of the plantation. Maria, however, is in love with another worker and wants to escape with him. What follows is a clash of modern-day and traditional life: beautiful, sad, and compelling, both cinematographically and story-wise. The movie was filmed in Kaqchikel, which all of the actors natively speak.

LIVING ON ONE DOLLAR

Four friends leave the U.S. and plan to live on $1 per day in Guatemala. Although this film can reinforce the storyline of interpreting poverty and Latin America only through the eyes of foreigners, it's an interesting watch.

Chile

Pía is surrounded by people who take her for granted and take advantage of the fact that she doesn't speak up for herself. One day she can't take it anymore, and sees an alternative Chinese doctor. He administers a dubious treatment that turns out to be extremely effective: now Pía can only say exactly what's on here mind.

(Heads up- there's a somewhat explicit sexual scene near the end that I found a little disturbing. It's meant to be uncomfortable, but just letting you know.)

Venezuela

A look into the famous beauty pageant industry and process in Venezuela, through the eyes of three women.

Colombia

(Beyond movies, there are also some great shows set in Colombia. You may want to check out La niña, and Pablo Escobar: Patron del malo.)

A group of teens in Bogotá are mentored in the art of stealing by an expert thief, in a gritty, coming-of-age sort of story.

A look into Cuban life and changes, over several decades, through the eyes of three different families.

El Che

Mexican writer Paco Ignacio Taibo II retraces the life and journeys of Che Guevara. (It was difficult to find the trailer, so below is a section of the documentary itself.)

Encanto is another Incredible Disney animated movie that continues their winning streak with a fun, extremely vibrant and emotional film that also has great messages and mature themes, even if the narrative is predictable.

Stephanie Beatriz gives an incredible lead performance and María Cecilia Botero, Diane Guerrero, Jessica Darrow and John Leguizamo all give great supporting performances.

The direction by Jared Bush, Bryon Howard and Charise Castro Smith is superb, it's constantly visually inventive and extremely well paced. The animation is reliably perfect, ridiculously colourful and consistently visually stunning. The songs by Lin-Manuel Miranda are excellent.
