Again, this was a difficult choice. But I've chosen 'El Lobo', a 2004 Spanish film starring Eduardo Noriega as a Basque undercover worker hired by the authorities to infiltrate the ETA, back in the dying days of Franco's regime. As usual with films that are based on true stories and are well-made, this one excels. The acting is superb, the story taut and exciting, and the soundtrack is excellent.

Here is a film poster:



And a video showing a few scenes with great accomanying soundtrack from youtube:

Well, thank you!
The movie is so awesome, it still blows me away every time I watch it. There is no bad part in it, everything is superb.

The music is great! I would add every song in it to my iPod!

This film sounds awesome! Is that the "El Lobo" that featured in that TV show that played a prank on Iker Casillas? If I remember correctly, he got to meet a former "spy" who had a face transplantation and was psychic or something.

And wow, a film with such awesome music must be great! :D

Thanks a million for the recommendation!

'El Lobo' is an amazing film! It could be the same guy who pranked Iker.

I loved how it showed that side of Basque history and the locations were starkly stunning. I could imagine I was there...

All of the actors were superb. But Eduardo Noriega RULES.

You're welcome!♥
