Yes el orfanato is quite good too, and also The Others (Los Otros) with Nicole Kidman it is actually another Spanish film with American actors.
About books I reccomend you Ruiz Zafon, he has great books like Marina.
How about sitcoms ot TV series? we have plenty but not sure if they have gone further than Europe lol
When I've watched "The Others" alone at night and I couldn't sleep after. Do you know about "Mama" movie? It's a new spanish scary movie, I heard the movie likes "el orfanato". Also I like "El laberinto del fauno", although this is not a scary movie, but still pretty creepy.
I remember only one spanish TV series about the Police, the name is "PolicÃas, en el corazón de la calle", but it was a long time ago.
Strange because as a former colony of Spain, Spanish films, books and songs should be popular in the Philippines but they are not because Filipinos cannot speak Spanish anymore.
It's not really their fault though, Spanish and English were battling it out during the American colonial period but Spanish had a bit of an edge in most respects. But then Manila, the heart of the Spanish speaking culture in the Phillipines, was destroyed in WW2, as were many, many Spanish speakers, and the language never recovered from that event.

I wish the Americans didn't really replace Spanish with English. When they took over, English was promoted and it eventually replaced Spanish. Puerto Rico was also taken over by Americans but they were still able to keep Spanish, so atleast for them they can speak 2 of the most important languages in the world.
I like Spanish. It is a very beautiful language and the no. 1 most beautiful language to me. I prefer it more than English.
Not in Australia. It is strange that there are not many Spanish people in Australia. There are loads of Italians and Dutch but hardly any French or Spanish.
The only Spanish actors that are known here are Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem. Javier is a fantasic actor. I loved him in Skyfall and No Country for Old Men.

No I haven't watched Mama yet. but I want to.
For those ones who lice poetry, Lorca, Cervantes etc I can reccommend you Becquer, the romantic poet with great legends and poems.
Books from Gabriel Garcia Marquez (Colombia), Mario Vargas Llosa (Peru), Octavio Paz (Mexico), Juan Rulfo (Mexico), Carlos Fuentes (Mexico), Jorge Luis Borges (Argentina), Julio Cortazar (Argentina), among others are widely known in the world.
Mainstream wise, not at all. The overwhelming majority of Spanish language entertainment in the US is produced from Latin America, with Mexico being the largest exporter. The only country whose films enjoy wide exposure in the US are British films. Most Americans don't like watching subbed or dubbed movies and TV shows, unless if it's from Japan.
A surprisingly large chunk of Spanish language entertainment is also produced within the US too.
As somebody pointed out, most Spanish movies are limited to special movie theaters, "arte y ensayo", places where they only project foreign and cult movies and to University movie theaters. Most hispanics watch Univision or Hispanic chains....
In the case of Miami and NY, many people watch Spanish chains offered by cable. In fact, some Spanish chains there are ditching Mexican chains.
