I've seen The Day of the Beast, The Last Circus, Witching and Bitching, and The Bar. They're all insane, and I mostly enjoyed them.
The Last Circus is particularly batshit crazy, and it caused me to read up on Spain's history, since the whole movie is basically a metaphor for the country's abuse at the hands of the political extremists.
Witching and Bitching was fun, and surprisingly unsympathetic to feminism.
The Bar, however, despite a promising beginning got so stupid I almost turned it off.
Alex de la Iglesia is definitely a satirist. All his movies I've seen are making some kind of social commentary under whatever crazy stuff is being shown.
