Vivamus, mea Lesbia, atque amemus

Hello everyone! 

I love watching movies in Spanish. It has been one of the most efficient ways to help me improve my listening skills and to learn new vocabulary. Here is a list of some of my favorite movies in Spanish! Most of these are available on a variety of platforms, including Youtube, Netflix, Amazon Video, or Hulu. Most of them can be watched with subtitles in English or Spanish as well. :) Enjoy!
