Castilian accent
Hola! I am trying to listen to Castilian Spanish, and since looking up 'Castilian accent' doesn't seem to work I was wondering if anyone could direct me towards clips of people speaking with Castilian accents? News clips, movie clips, anything will do. (also, my Spanish teacher loves Argentinian movies, so the same for Argentinian accents would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

To my knowledge "Castilian Spanish" refers to what we call simply "Spanish" ie. the language as it is spoken in Spain, México, Argentina, Columbia and a dozen more countries. In many of these countries it is the preferred name for the language too (Castellano). In Spain they distinguish between Castellano and Catalan, Galician, Basque and other languages spoken only on this country. But these are only my impressions, let's wait for others.
This link has a tremendous number of television shows from Spain where people use the accent you refer to. Be careful, though. Some of the shows are in Catalan instead of Spanish.
