I can also really recommend movies starring Pedro Infante. These films tend not to have a difficult plot, so are easy to follow if you're new to Spanish like me (and Mexican Spanish is usually quite easy to follow).

Yes that kind to movies are well spoken in Spanish more the kind to slang or idioms, I can recommending you watch more movies spoken in Spanish and if they are Mexican films are better.

Good luck with in your road still for cross.

God bless you.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand what you mean by "more the kind to slang or idioms".

I want to mean you must to watch more Pedro Infante's movies, because that kind to movies are spoken very fluently and also they are spoken clear and slowly between the phrases, then I can recommending you, that kind to movies likes you can hear to music from Mexico in specially romantic's music already they are singed slowly for the songster.

Watching movies spoken in Spanish you can get or upgrade in slangs or idioms too.

Sincerely yours.

That's pretty interesting. How much do you feel you got out of it?

Yesterday, I tried watching a DVD I own (Dogma) in Spanish audio (I wanted to pick a movie I was more familiar with, but most DVD's sold in the US don't seem to come with Spanish audio!), hoping that since I generally know what's going on anyway, I'd be able to somewhat make out the dialogue, even though native speakers speak far too quickly for me to understand (yet).

I didn't get very far

I might have to try watching something in English but with Spanish subs, hopefully that would be more beneficial to me.

Some of his movies have clear speech but a lot of them don't especially if it is a cowboy movie where they use A LOT of different words. Words like "chilpayate" that may confuse a few people. On the "funny" movies of Pedro Infante the play on words is fascinating and difficult to follow if you are not truly fluent.

Yes I agree with you, but anyway they can help you with your speech, then I know that kind to movies are spoken some many words like you told me, but also they can help you, because you have the change to learn new colloquial words.

Also the American movies are spoken with colloquial words.

I tell you this, because I have watched a lot of American movies and they have taught me a lot of words than aren't mentioned in the forums and anyway they have helped me in my speech.

Regards.
