I don't make a habit of watching them, but if the movie looks interesting I'll watch one with subtitles. The only annoying thing is when I watch them at home, I tend to like to multi-task and use the computer at the same time, but I can't when it's a subtitled film, because I can't just listen. So I have to make sure I'm in the mood to give my undivided attention to the movie. When I am in the mood, I can enjoy the films and having to read the subtitles don't bother me.

I do watch movies with subtitles occasionally. I don't always do it, but a lot of times I actually do watch movies with subtitles. I don't always find it annoying or anything in many cases. It depends on my mood though.

I always try to watch movies and series in their original language, so I usually get them with subtitles. I'm fluent in English, but I still want to have subtitles on (in English too) in case I miss something, or if there's a lot of background noise in the movie, since it sometimes makes it harder to understand what they're saying. Another thing I watch with subtitles is anime, since I want to watch it with the original Japanese voices.

I love watching subtitled films, but I have to be in a mood to do so. I'm big on having the TV on while I do other things (The other day I put on Big Bang Theory and cleaned out my fridge), but I do love watching films with subtitles when I have time to fully focus. I especially love Bollywood films because they have a tendency to switch back and forth between English and Hindi mid-sentence that I find endearing. Other than that, K-Dramas are my favorite. They have a pretty good selection of those on Hulu and Netflix. Good times.

Yes, I usually watch movie with the subtitle. The subtitle help me to understand the conversation in the movie. Coz I don't have good ability in foreign language. I usually search and use english subtitle, and play it with VLC.

For me the subtitles are very useful according to the movie I'm watching. If it's a foreing language movie I have to use the subtitles. But if I want to have a clear understanding of the movie I may use them, otherwise not.
