Do you watch movies with subtitles? Do you have a favorite foreign film?

I love to watch couple of french movies which comes with english subtitles. they are really good. So also at film festivals held in Bangalore, I watch films from czekoslavakia now different country.

Hi!!!
I cannot watch a movie and read subtitles simultaneously, but I do like watching movies in a different language.At first I watch the movie with subtitles and then without it. For this reason I cannot watch such movies while it is telecasted in movie channels,mostly I prefer CD's. My favourite foreign language movie is "Ich war neunjehn"(I was nineteen).It is a German movie.

My husband watched Pan's Labyrinth at the movie theater and enjoyed it. He enjoys watching movies made in German, as speaks the language fluently. My daughter and I enjoyed The House of Flying Daggers, which was done so well. We watched it several times and each time the characters really make me understand the characters even more.

I had several years of French in school. Now I watch movies in French to help improve my usage of words and how to say them correctly.

I accidently bought my husband a Jackie Chan movie called Armour of God and we didn't understand a thing and I realized after the movie that we could turn the subtitles on so we watched it again so atleast we knew what was going on..lol But we haven't watched it since. I am thinking of ebaying it. Well me and my husband miss most the movie and action by trying to read the subtitles. We also watched Passions of christ that way too. Now that was a touching movie. I watched Crouching Tiger,Hidden Dragon and it was a great movie. I will watch movies with subtitles if I really have to but will end up watching it 2-3 times and still see things I missed because some subtitles went to fast before we could read them all.

For good readers and people with good eyesight its not a problem.

I had no problem watching any subtitles movies. Cause maybe I just got used of it since I was small. I watched English movies, HongKong, Taiwan, Korean, Japan, India, France, sometimes A bit of Spain and Italy movies. so I be able to read the subtitles real quick and get the whole story line. But of course sometimes the problem was when I had to watched movies woth a bad subtitles. Its not a problem for me watching English or Mandarin movies without any subtitles, but I cannot understand others without a good subtitles.

I did like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as well. One of my favorites though would have to be The Fearless Hyena. This was one of Jackie Chan's earlier movies, and I laughed at that movie till I nearly cried.

I do not mind watching them Ambie, in fact I quite enjoy it sometimes, helps my concentration as well. Also I find that after a while, depending on the film, I have no need to read the subtitles and am just going with the flow, gaining understanding of the language by just viewing LOL
Hmmm?
Well, I cannot think of a favourite I have, as my memory escapes me at present time, but I truly did enjoy that Pans Labyrinth. I saw it too Ambie.
I hope all is going fairly well for you and I am thinking and praying for all myLotters who need prayers at this time.
I truly hope you sort out your rent and medicine issues. xoxoxooxox God Bless you Precious Ambie. My son says Hello!

i love watching japanese, korean films and other asian films. i had watched a german film too. but that's because of my history subjects and international politics course back then.

my current favorite is death note movies 1 and 2 (japanese), my sassy girl (korean) and shutter (malaysian or thai?). i don't really mind reading subtitles, i don't like it more when they are dubbed.

My favorite is Taxi. The version we watch does not have subtitles. It is in French. I took up French in high school and college and my husband speaks/writes fluent French. It is such a funny film. We love it!
