When we think of Spanish cinema, we first think of Almodóvar. In fact, Spanish comedies are very exciting!
From the late 1930s to the 1970s, when Spain was under Franco's repressive dictatorship, Spaniards gradually became accustomed to disguising true views and intentions through absurdity and puns.
Spanish society now has a long history of free speech. Without political repression, the Spaniards occasionally brushed off their own state and government. Especially in recent years, the economy has been sluggish, and satirical humor has become popular in Spain. But this is not the norm, and lazy Spaniards are more willing to bother with food than to be less political.
Gather the 8-nation coalition 'Spanish Apartment'
In this passionate country, a witty and humorous English gentleman is bound to be overwhelmed! Spanish humor is just like Spanish – short, swearing, and sometimes rather rude! Classic Spanish jokes are always unavoidable about sex. In many countries, adult jokes are difficult to be elegant, but in Spain, this is the high point for the whole people.
Secondly, the regions of Spain (Catalonia, Andalusia, basque country, etc.) vary greatly, so Spaniards like to make fun of people and things from different regions, which is also one of the important themes of Spanish comedies.
Spanish Affair Ocho apellidos vascos (2014)
The most popular film in Spain in 2014 tells the story of a young Man in Seville, Rafa, who falls in love with Amaia, a girl from the Basque Country. It sounds ordinary, but when you know that the man is from the most enthusiastic southern region of Spain and the woman is from the richest (indifferent) northern region of Spain (the Basque Country has been fighting for independence), the story is good enough!
The film has all the characteristics of Spanish comedy: wine, women, sex, geographical differences, political satire...
Air bag Airbag (1997)
In recent years, there have not been many good road comedies on the big screen, such as "In July" and "The Hangover", but these films cannot be compared with the ultimate Spanish road comedy "Air Bag". It is an action comedy borrowed from quentin Tarantino's style, absurdly hilarious, with a cynical view that critiques the pop culture of Spain and the Basque Country.
La comunidad (2000)
A brilliant black comedy that tells the story of the owners of a building who spy on each other in order to embezzle a huge amount of wealth. The so-called "people die for money, birds die for eating", the film's portrayal of human nature is very profound. Although it is a comedy, it makes people get goosebumps after watching it!
多浪迪警官Torrente, the Silly Arm of the Law (1998)
Officer Dorondi may be Spain's most well-known fictional character, yet his fame does not come from his charm. Instead, he was lazy, sloppy, alcoholic, sexist, racist, and his only income came from his father's disability allowance. The film is full of all kinds of obscene, bad jokes, and maybe this is the appetite for the Spaniards.
Old Watch Three Untouchables Primos (2011)
When you invite friends and relatives to the wedding a week later, and your fiancée is finished playing with you, how do you meet?

If you want to listen to the chattering Spanish poverty, if you want to have a glimpse of the Spanish seaside, if you want to see the hot Spanish girls up close, this film will not disappoint you.
Perfect Crime Crimen Ferpecto (2004)
Comedy films that meet the characteristics of Spain, humorous and absurd and somewhat neurotic, the film has developed from comedy to crime film, and then to thriller, full of suspense, but always fun and funny! The film tells the story of a man who strives for perfection, Raphael accidentally kills his competitor, and the female colleague Lourdes threatens and possesses him, and his life begins to become the opposite of before!
Woman on the Verge of Collapse Mujeres al borde de un ataque de "nervios" (1988)
Almodóvar is good at making films about women, and he can always catch the unique personality traits of women. In this film, Almodóvar vividly shows the jealousy, madness, and hysteria of women. The film, which has been translated as "Women for Self-Pleasing Man", tells the story of an old man who disappears and four mentally broken women related to him get together and stage a lamentable tragicomedy.
Marshall, Welcome to Bienvenido Mister Marshall (1953)
The film is the foundation of modern Spanish cinema and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 6th Cannes Film Festival. The film is a poignant satire of the "American aid" behavior that was popular at the time. In a small town, because the American Aid Mission is coming, so people are dreaming of getting rich, hoping to get some benefits from the Americans. Like the mayor's cowboy dream, the mission ended up daydreaming. In Franco's day, the film was particularly powerful.
