Live Flesh [DVD] [1998]
1.  Live Flesh [DVD] [1998] DVD ~ Liberto Rabal
The list author says:
  "Best to watch first. Music is slightly dated but Carne Tremula is a great introduction to all that is Almodovarian."

Talk To Her (hable Con Ella) [DVD] [2002]
2.  Talk To Her (hable Con Ella) [DVD] [2002] DVD ~ Rosario Flores
The list author says:
  "Mastpiece of storytelling. Oscar for Best Screenplay. Another great introduction but less accessible than Carne Tremula or Volver. Some challenging subject matter."
£7.00   Used & New from: £2.48
4.3 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (21 customer reviews)

Volver (Almodovar) [DVD]
3.  Volver (Almodovar) [DVD] DVD ~ Penelope Cruz

Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown [DVD]
4.  Women On The Verge Of A Nervous Breakdown [DVD] DVD ~ Carmen Maura
The list author says:
  "Is it a mystery? A thriller? A drama? A comedy, even? The culmination of Almodovar's first phase. Note, this film was released in 1988, NOT 1985."
£10.00   Used & New from: £3.06

All About My Mother [DVD] [1999]
5.  All About My Mother [DVD] [1999] DVD ~ Cecilia Roth
The list author says:
  "Oscar winning film. Cecilia Roth is magnificent as the mother, Cruz superb as sister Rosa. This film has it all. Almodovar's first film where he moves away from Madrid."
£7.00   Used & New from: £1.12
4.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (26 customer reviews)

Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down [DVD]
6.  Tie Me Up, Tie Me Down [DVD] DVD ~ Antonio Banderas
The list author says:
  "Challenging to those who don't know Almodovar but a triumph of irony and cinematic parody. Due to subject matter, the MPAA unfairly gave this film an X."
£4.39   Used & New from: £3.11
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)

Bad Education [DVD] [2004]
7.  Bad Education [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Gael García Bernal
The list author says:
  "One of my favourites and arguably Almodovar's most self-reflexive (along with Volver). Beware the taboo subject matter."
£3.81   Used & New from: £0.83
4.4 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (28 customer reviews)

Labyrinth of Passion [2007] [DVD]
8.  Labyrinth of Passion [2007] [DVD] DVD ~ Cecilia Roth
The list author says:
  "His second film (1982) is far technically superior to Pepi, Luci, Bom which makes for a more watchable exposition of 'la movida'."
£11.00   Used & New from: £2.90
3.2 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (5 customer reviews)

Law Of Desire [DVD]
9.  Law Of Desire [DVD] DVD ~ Eusebio Poncela
The list author says:
  "What Jose Arroyo calls a 'gay seduction', La ley del deseo challenged the AIDS epidemic with its promiscurity and passion. Carmen Maura is fantastic."
£5.87   Used & New from: £3.50

Flower Of My Secret [DVD]
10.  Flower Of My Secret [DVD] DVD ~ Marisa Paredes
The list author says:
  "Very funny, La flor de mi secreto examines the fragile female psyche, ususally so strong in Almodovar."
£5.87   Used & New from: £4.00

Matador [DVD]
11.  Matador [DVD] DVD ~ Assumpta Serna
The list author says:
  "Challenging even for those familiar with Almodovar's treatment of the taboo. Nonetheless a cutting examination of macho Spain."
£6.00   Used & New from: £2.41
3.7 out of 5 stars  See all reviews (7 customer reviews)
