Aside, @personlurking[0] on HN (you won't see this but thanks) mentioned FlixOlé[1] the other day and I've been hooked on Spanish cinema for a few days now. $4/mo (14 day trial) and there are no subtitles, so for the HN crowd it's only good for Spanish learners forced to finally wean off subtitles.
While Netflix has stellar Spanish shows/movies from El silencio del pantano (movie) to El desorden que dejas (show), it's a fun break from Netflix with a large catalog of eras (1950-2000) that Netflix doesn't have at all.
I wouldn't normally watch a movie from 1957, but there's something easier about doing that when it's a culture you weren't born into. I think this is the spice of learning another language, especially for us native English speakers since we have no real impetus beyond leisure to engulf ourselves in other languages/cultures. IME this is something people take for granted who learn English as a 2nd language and wonder why English speakers are monolingual.
This comment doesn't fit here (just triggered by Spanish and Dracula and a couple statements in TFA) but it's something I was thinking about over the last couple days that I wanted to jettison into the ether.
