What are some good Spanish-language movies, preferably from Latin America?
I've already seen Pan's Labyrinth and Maria Full of Grace.

It's from Spain rather than Latin America, but Volver (2006) is freakin' great.

"Matando Cabos", "Amores Perros" "Y Tu Mamá También", "Nicotina" and "Como Agua Para Chocolate" are all Mexican and all good films. "La Mujer de mi Hermano" is a good pan-latino film. "Un Día en el Paraíso" and "¿Quien Dice Que Es Fácil" are both good Argentine romanitc comedies.

From Spain:
El laberinto del fauno (Pan's Labyrinth)
Los amantes del círculo polar (The lovers of the Arctic circle)
Abre los ojos (Open your eyes)
Mar Adentro (the Sea inside)
El espinazo del diablo (The devil's backbone)
Sin noticias de dios (Don't tempt me)
Nadie hablará de nosotras cuando hayamos muerto (Nobody Will Speak of Us When We're Dead)
Los lunes al sol (Mondays in the sun)
Obaba (same international title)
Alatriste (Viggo Mortensen speaking Spanish, he speaks native Venezuelan Spanish, but his Castilian accent is not really credible :P anyway the movie and himself is worth seeing)
From Argentina: El secreto de sus ojos (The secret in their eyes)
El hijo de la novia (Son of the bride)
El hombre de al lado (The man next door) (I watched this one last week and it's pure genious!)
These are the ones I can think of all of a sudden, really good stuff IMO. I'll get back when I get to remember some others :)
