Spanish movies/shows with subtitles

Hi! I personally watch a lot of Spanish-language short films, since short films are quick enough to sit through, plus it's nice to have a (more or less) complete plot in one sitting.

Tooting my own horn here, but I blog about a number of free online ones over at www.freespanishshortfilms.com

Moreover, I made a YouTube playlist of the Spanish-language short films I've viewed there so far, and here's a link to that, too: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWgqul1I9Dm08eovp_KGHcazjrAVvB_f6

Hope this helps!

Spanish TV series w/ English subtitles

Gran Hotel/Grand Hotel -- Oft lauded as "The Spanish Downton Abbey," this fast paced period drama is part mystery, part romance, and completely bingeable. Where to watch: first 9 episodes at http://www.hulu.com/grand-hotel, first two seasons on Netflix, For fans of: The Bletchley Circle

El Tiempo Entre Costuras/The Time Between Seams -- Another period drama, this 17 episode miniseries based on an international bestseller follows seamstress Sira Quiroga from girl to woman. You won't want to miss her journey or the adventures that shape her along the way, set against the backdrop of a country shadowed by the threat of war.
Where to watch: http://www.hulu.com/the-time-in-bet://www.hulu.com/grand-hotel, For fans of: Reign, Call The Midwife

Ángel o Demonio/Angel or Demon -- This supernatural drama features a group of seductive, human faced demons and the reluctant young girl who's fated to try and stop them from claiming souls. It's a bit less heavily serialized than many others on this list. It features a ludicrously attractive young cast, and would fit right in on the American tv network the CW. Where to watch: https://www.viki.com/tv/11963c-angel-or-demon, For fans of: Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries

Desaparecida/Vanished -- Follows the investigation into the disappearance of a teenage girl, as well as the wrenching impact on her family. Not bad, but gets bogged down by an endless string of red herrings, and lacks the striking cinematography, atmospheric quality, and intriguing investigators that several English-language programs in a similar vein have brought to the table. It's probably the only show on this list where romance isn't a major plot line. Where to watch: http://www.hulu.com/desaparecida, For fans of: The Killing

Velvet - A comedy/romance focused on the workers and owners of a luxury fashion store in the 50's. It can be more than a little corny, and much of the humor is more silly than funny. Still, a fun, light-hearted watch. Where to watch: first two seasons on Netflix, For fans of: The Paradise

Other subtitled Spanish dramas available for free on Hulu include Isabel (period drama), La Fuga (prison break/romance), and Gran Reserva (soap opera) among others. And Netflix has recently added some additional Spanish language programs to their offerings.

You should check www.clasevirtual.ru . It is a site specially for spanish students. There are lots of films and series in spanish with subtitles in spanish. I made it because, as a spanish teacher, I needed for my students such sort of thing but couldn’t find it anywhere in the web. I am not a great webmaster so dont be too strict!))

Thanks for the list! Im a big fan of "equipos de investigacion" on youtube. Also for a good book google "los hombres que no amaban mujeres" and you can also youtube the audio for the book. I think it really helps to read the words while listening.. And since the audio is 18 hours long it makes for an intensive excercise

extr@ is easy to understand plus it's quite funny

Gracias! Rianne

It's a great list. I wonder why I haven't found it when I searched earlier :)

do u have links of Los protegidos with english subs???

Tierra de lobos is an also a really good spanish TV show, there are episodes on youtube with english subtitles, definitely recommend :) :)

thank you!

Thanks for this, do you know any more good movies or short movies? I already watched all the ones you listed. A few other good short movies I watched were 'Ten Minutes' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4xDUZw9wJU) and 'The Circle' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m7e1d71gD_o)

I would like to contribute to this post by adding Destinos. It's pretty good and has alot of episodes I don't think there are any subtitles but it's made for beginners and you get to learn some culture as well as hear different accents and see different parts of Spanish speaking countries: http://learner.org/series/destinos/

i can thank you forever for that great list :) Gracias! Rianne

Amazing work finding all these! Will really help

Where can I find full episodes of Bette de Fea with SPANISH subtitles? Viki no longer offers it on their site. I find many sites with English subtitles for this show but not Spanish.

Great list. I'm a beginner and am enjoying the Extra @ episodes. They are just my speed--despacio y fácil.

Hey! does anyone have a link for the spanish series 'Sin Identidad' with english or spanish subs?

ai muchas gracias amigito :D

ummm i wanted to ask you if you knew, if the muchacha italiana viene a casarse has any translations to english? or the subtitles, bc i am soooo in love with the series :) and i cannot find any place which has those episodes with subtitles. Can you help me?

creativeri thank you for posting this list of movie sites for the people who are learning Spanish. I just came across this problem of finding good movies or sites to help my husband learn Spanish. I have how ever looked through you list and condensed it to four good sites. the reason being that to learn Spanish the subtitles are very important and most of the sites either didn't have any or the translation was garbage.

Here are the four sites from your list that are actually worth looking into for anyone learning the language:

1. http://www.bbc.co.uk/languages/spanish/mividaloca/ep01/index.shtml its interactive so it immerses you into the language.

2. https://vimeo.com/groups/246581/videos/40567406 they speak slow and the translation is correct

3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fGAYgdZoFY cute stick figure animation with proper subtitles

4. and what list in Spanish is not done with out a telenovela

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pggZV0ETjI&list=PL-wlhjBlJMB9Hlva6V5Fd_1NWUeJ3IkCX

the subtitles are also correct.

Enjoy.

Thanks for this! I'm just a young that tryin to learn Spanish. haha

Hi Caliveri! It's good to know that you're learning spanish! Thx for adding me as your friend in Duolingo! but I'm looking for someone to talk! I'm interested in practicing my english by skype or in a similar way. I'm willing to help you with your spoken spanish! If you're interested leave me a message! Thx!!

This is SO cool! Thank you so much!!

okay thanks

I'm late to this discuss, so sorry if this was already answered. Anyone know where I can find a good list of movies/tv shows on Hulu that are in Spanish, but also have Spanish subtitles/closed-captioning?

thank you!

Gracias, creativeri and to all others who have contributed to this list. Haven't seen everything on it, but I did recently see El Pasajero (The Passenger). That was so worth watching. I may have never seen something like that had you not suggested it. You can watch it with English subtitles, but the Spanish isn't too fast and the film gives you a lot of pauses in between the words to think about what was said. Like the Christmas Carol at Christmas, this is one that should be watched every New Year's Eve.

Me before you

Thank you so much!

mucho gracias <3

Hello everyone! I know Spanish and English and like writing subtitles. I would like to write the subs to Los Protegidos. Would anyone like to join me and share the subs writing? I would be happy if any English native speaker helps me by editing my subs.
