- “Bad Education” The MPAA slapped the tantalizingly lurid spectacle “Bad Education” with an NC-17 in 2004, and it was probably the best thing that could’ve happened to Almodóvar in years, because this dazzling and horrifying masterpiece of a movie ended up earning more than $40 million globally, and $5 million in the U.S. It’s one of the highest-grossing NC-17 films of all time, right there behind “Showgirls,” “Henry & June,” and “The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover.”
- “All About My Mother” Almodóvar rightly won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1999 for this luscious ode to the women and the films that have inspired him.
- “Talk to Her” Almodóvar won the Best Original Screenplay Academy Award in 2003 for this sensuous and creepy story of two men, a nurse and a writer, who bond over the love they feel for two women in comas.
- “Volver” The 21st-century stretch of Almodóvar’s career has found the director working at the peak of his powers, and 2006’s “Volver” is no exception.
