TOP 5 GAY FILMS Put IN SPAIN
We begin our Gay Films Establish in Spainlist with Nico and Dani () not because it takes place in the Catalan town of Castelldefels and in various locations in the country of Garraf but because it touches on a couple of original concepts rarely found in other gay movies. First of the title of the film doesn't point to to the character's mention but to a shape of mutual masturbation practiced between the two main characters. I got to admit that I had passed over this film several times, thinking it would be your cliche packed coming-of-age movie - the plot description didn't help one bit either (Two teenagers awakening sexually, with one coming to terms with his homosexuality and the other with his heterosexuality).

Queer Films from Spain and Latin America
1. Hoje eu quero voltar sozinho (The Way He Looks) Brazil Dir. Daniel Ribeiro
Brazil’s official submission for the Best Foreign Language Film category for the Academy Awards, this dramatic romance stars Ghilherme Lobo as Leonardo, a blind teenager who wants to study abroad but has one big obstacle, his overprotective mother. When recent kid Gabriel shows up at school, drawing the attraction of both he and his best girlfriend, Leonardo’s world is turned upside down.

Anything from Pedro Almodóvar (Spain)
It doesn't matter which movie of his you pick because it's gonna be queer, and most of his films also deal with sex operate. Even Talk to Her and Volver have queer elements. If you wish in-your-face queer watch Pain & Glory or I'm So Excited. If you want your feelings bruise , Bad Education or Parallel Mothers will do that, but NEVER watch The Skin I Live In.

Penelope is different; she made me feel real sexual desire”.
