Re: wat is ur fav spanish film
Great list! I haven't seen all of them, but it contains quite a few films in Spanish that I love.
My personal favorite is Alejandro Amenábar's "Mar adentro".
Not mentioned yet, but a quiet little film that I loved is "Bombón: El Perro" (Carlos Sorin, Argentina 2004).

Re: wat is ur fav spanish film
Without any hesitation "Viridiana" by Luis Buñuel (1961).
This movie was Spain's official contribution to the Cannes Festival. It received the Golden Palm. But on the very same day it was shown in Cannes it was totally forbidden in both Spain and France. (It was during the semi-dictatorship of de Gaulle.)
Some thing that were said about the movie at that time, were not true. Actually, general Franco had no objections to the movie. - But this was Buñuel's first movie in Spain since the Franco rebellion started. Now he was in a sense to be reconciled with this regime. But he actually had made a highly critical "bomb", not least against the Catholic Church.
As a consequence, when this film was shown in Sweden (and probably the same was true of many other countries), it was an enormous experience when the movie immediately started with the Halelujah Choir from Händel's "Messias".
Before young Viridiana retreats to a cloister she must visits her father's sister's former husband, whose economic aid had enabled (well, something that would make her retreat more easy). This sister died on her wedding night, probably during the sexual act. Physically, Viridiana is very similar to her paternal aunt. So the first night in the uncle's house/castle he takes out the wedding cloths of his dead wife and tries to put her corset on himself. This scene is accompanied by a section from Bach's Missa in B Minor, and the Choir sings "Born by a virgin".
In the same scene Viridiana is sleepwalking and goes past her uncle with garn balls in her basket and throws them in the fire. She puts ashes into the basket, and throws in on the uncle's bed.
Re: wat is ur fav spanish film
I agree with Viridiana, a haunting film.

Try Amazon.com. There you can find dozens (hundreds?) of films from the mexican golden age. If that doesn't work, try here: Mixup.com (just type the ORIGINAL name in spanish in the search bar).
Good luck.

Re: wat is ur fav spanish film
Brecha (2009): His acting was so good that I just couldn't believe it when I read that tis was the first time on screen for beautiful Jose Ramon Lafita
And the movie has a good storyline, too...
Talking about a Spanish boy actor of some years ago, I should of course also mention a much older movie from that country (a classic, showing a very unusual story; but to my knowledge, it's still unavailable on DVD!); perhaps you already guessed it:
Tobi - el nino con alas (Lolo Garcia)
If movies in spanish language are to be included here, I'd like to mention Popi (1969) and Verano del potro...
