Hey Rookie I have seen ALL of Almodovars films and I have loved each and every one of them. The two that have special places in my heart as they were the first two that I had seen are, "Tie me up! Tie me down!" and, "Matador". I just LOVED the metaphorical bullfight between the leads in, "Matador".

After the much understood Murder of her srsly creepy asshole of a Husband, she tries to find a way to conceal any trace of evidence leading to the truth or the fact alone of his death, while her own aunts death puts a dent in a few plans already forged..
Her closest friend & neighbor, a medical marijuana user (diagnosed with Terminal Cancer) tries uncovering a personal mystery that bind them all together from events that happened long ago involving Raimunda's mother, (which is where everything leads to in the Film) she returns from the Dead in the process, for reasons u'd have to figure for yourself while watching....
It's got a serious plot revolving around Death with humor to soften the edges..

Caveat - If you don't foreign films with Subs, skip this.
It's better in original language, Spanish {Spain}.

Bonus: Cruz lip-syncs' a Flamenco rather well....The only part that's "musical" thankfully.

Pedro Almodóvar and Penélope Cruz have made quite a few films together as Producer/Actor combo that are amazing...
Those 2 would be, for me , like... Tim Burton & Johnny Depp.
w/o the "Camp"....
