1	Princesas (Princesses) 2005, Unrated) This a great film about sadness and friendship. Outstanding performances.
2	[Rec] 2007, R) As far as hand-held camera things go, I really enjoyed this one. The supernatural aspects of the film are on a different level than the gritty realism of the rest of the movie, and there are a couple ridiculous scenes thrown in for plot, but all in all a fun, fast ride. It's waaay better than the remake "Quaratine", which throws in a few extra scenes for plot that are waaay more ridiculous.
3	Amores Perros 2000, R)
4	El Aura (The Aura) 2005, Unrated) Ricardo Darín's peculiarly charactered performance is executed with such subtlety and nuance that it's hard to believe he's acting. The sound design and original score are beautiful, and so perfect for the film they seem to be growing out of it rather than being imposed upon it. This is one of those rare films where the ride is so engaging that its hard to imagine anything but disappointment merely because it does end (the ambiguity of the ending notwithstanding).

6	Los Cronocrímenes (Timecrimes) 2007, R)
