I need a movie in Spanish with English subtitles

Coffee · #1 07-26-2007, 05:01 PM

And it has to be suitable for me to show at a school. I know that's very limiting, and believe me, I think the kids could handle it...but I just don't want to get in trouble with my boss.

I'm going to show "The Sea Inside" w/Javier Bardem tomorrow...I think it should be fine. I was going to show Pan's Labyrinth, but I'd forgotten how gory it really is. Again, I think the kids could probably handle it, but the parents might not be able to. These are 14-17 year olds, btw. Them's the breaks of being a teacher. Any recommendations for PG-13ish movies that are in Spanish?

Thanks, guys.

I would say Spirit of the Beehive, but it doesn't have a lot of dialogue, if that's what you're going for.

You miiight be able to sell them on Pan's by talking up the Golden Globe and Oscar wins, and of course the kids will be talking about how great it was after they see it, but, yeah, probably not. I'll try to think of something else.

I was going to say Belle Epoque, but if I remember correctly it's pretty sexy....

"Volver" by Almodovar won the Academy Award last year and "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown" was brilliant (and won in 1988), but they are both Rated R (language, some sexytime, a murder in Volver).
"Motorcycle Diaries" is fantastic and yet is, also, rated R (language)
"Los Lunes al Sol" is very depressing but won the Goya in 2003 but again R for language...
"Volver a Empezar" is great, but might be hard to find. I think its rated PG.
The film "Carmen" is sexy but not too sexual, has great music and flamenco dancing and might keep the whippersnappers attention. I would possibly pick that one....
