I was flipping through the channels one day and stumbled upon a great movie that I have heard of many times, but never cared to watch.  The movie was Pan's Labyrinth, written and directed by Guillermo Del Toro. The story takes place during the Spanish Civil War and Guillermo wonderfully combines a story of a war torn country along with the adventures of a young girl in a fantasy world.

I was so impressed with the film that I was eager to experience more his work. Below are two additional movies that I think anyone will find as enjoying as Pan's Labyrinth.  First is "The Devil's Backbone" which is also written and directed by Mr. Del Toro and continues his use of the Spanish Civil war as a backdrop for his story telling. The other is the Orphanage directed by Juan Antonio Bayona but presented by Guillermo Del Toro.

All of these movies are shot on location in Spain, so knowing how to read is a must (Subtitles) for our non Spanish speaking friends, nether the less these movies are great you will not be dissapointed.
