Okay, folks, gimme recs for Mexican genre films outside of the standard work of Guillermo Del Toro, Cuarón, & Iñárritu. What else is worth tracking down online or else?
Looking for: worthwhile scifi/horror/action/grindhouse etc.

A company called Casa Negre put out a series of deluxe reissues of classic Mexican Horror a few years back. Some are just silly fun, but the pick of the bunch are every bit as good as Hammer, for my money:
Misterios de ultratumba/Black Pit of Doctor M http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051937/
La maldición de la Llorona/Curse of the Crying Woman http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055128/
German Robles was a pretty stunning vampire in the El Vampiro movies: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0051151/
Talking of silly fun, I was amazed by just how well made and outrageously entertaining the few subbed El Santo movies I've managed to see are.

Alucarda! Stunning 70s Mexican horror. Available on YouTube.
Jodorowsky's El Topo and Holy Mountain are legendary, with good reason.
