Good Morning!
I saw your netflix list and was a little dissappointed at the missing new-latino/mexican film. I see one (just one?) of your 5-star flix is All About My Mother by Almodovar. So I took the liberty of including below some of my suggestions that I think you might enjoy.
Bad Education
Motorcycle Diaries
Amores Perros
Carne Tremula
Sexo, Pudor Y Lagrimas (one of my all time favorites)
Santitos (not that good but funny)
There are more, of course, but you can just netflix the genre and see a good list.
Enjoy!
As to the above comment, what about Almodovar's "Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown?" This was a wonderful farce but eerily prophetic- for some this would be a deal breaker but I still like it.
I love this list and I offer a suggestion. If you can find it, get "Night of the Shooting Stars." It's in Italian with subtitles
Here's a movie buff story: when I was a little kid, about eight, I listened with much interest to my older brother as he excitedly described to my mother a wonderful movie that he had seen the previous night. Some 20+ years later I remembered both the incident and the name of the movie, so I rented it, just out of curiosity. It was wonderful, and I understood why a 16 year-old would love it. It was "Cool Hand Luke." I hadn't spoken to my brother in YEARS (there had been an estrangement, he lived thousands of miles away, etc.) As a way of connecting, I decided to call him and tell him about remembering him as a teenager and so on. He listened, and in a tone that had the edge of "gee, you need to move on" he said, "Yeah that's a good movie but I've seen a movie that's even better that you should see." "What?" I asked, expecting to be blown away by the sage insight of this enigmatic figure from my childhood.
"Ghostbusters."
Thank you, very interesting!
Try 'Zero Effect' with Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller? It's 5 star in it's (own) genre?
I actually saw Zero Effect recently and did kind of like it. Thanks for the tip!
Army of Darkness? (I like Bruce Campbell).
Run Lola Run.

Regards,
Kolya. I can't say why I love it so, but I've seen it three times over the years since it came out - most recently a few nights ago -and I'm riveted each time.
I know it's partly the Russian and Czech language interplay.
And the music (classical; the central character is a cello player).
And the little boy Kolya.
I agree, Kolya was a very sweet movie!
