Do you mind watching a movie in a foreign language, but it has subtitles?

well it has to be really good if im going to go through the effort of reading a movie i watch, but life is beautiful was great...actually i watch anything roberto benigni makes...hes wonderful and makes it much easier to pay attention...but then theres stuff like croutching tiger hidden dragon that i just cant bother with

Not at all! I far prefer subtitles to dubbing, which I find really distracting. (I guess some people feel the other way around.) I think the only time I didn't really mind dubbing was in Jackie Chan's "Super Cop" - maybe because they're kicking and moving so much you can barely see their lips anyways.

Not watching foreign movies just because they present some challenge like - horrors! - reading subtitles is silly. You'd be cutting yourself off from many exciting, interesting, amazing and magnificent films.

(I also think the more you watch subtitles the more you get used to it, to where you don't really notice them that much.)

I find that, if it's a good movie, I forget that I'm reading all the dialogue. You have to be a fast reader for some movies, like anything that was originally in Italian :-)

Maybe that's why some people don't like subtitles

I also like turning the subtitles on for British movies because I sometimes have trouble understanding the accents. Something like Gosford Park is much more enjoyable if you can understand what people are saying

I think it depends on what the viewer is looking for in a forein film that has subtitles. There are many foreign films that have great stories with a deep meaning behind them which many people may enjoy, on the other hand viewers such as your roomates may consider watching a foreign film that has Kung Fu fighting which has lots of fighting action but less of reading subtitles and stories to follow.

I prefer subtitles. The only other options are dubbing or not watching foreign movies. Dubbing ruins a movie, even if it is done well. And not watching a movie because its foreign, well, that is just being small-minded.

I recommend Amelie, Run Lola Run, The Devil's Backbone, and Tae Guk Gi (last one is a GREAT Korean war movie).

Yeah, I even like watching English films with subtitles!

I watched a French movie a couple months ago that I really liked; I think it was called "Bon Voyage."

I'm currently on an Asian horror film kick and most of those are subtitled. Even so, sometimes I catch myself actually turning up the volume as though I'm going to start suddenly understanding Korean.

I enjoy foreign films immensely! There is an artistry unique to foreign films. They also take some liberties that are probably inherent in their cultures which we may not see in American films.

My recommendations are: Pan's Labyrinth and Curse of the Golden Flower. These are the most recent ones I've seen.

As long as it has a good plot I don't mind at all. One of the Mel Gibson movies recently was subtitles...can't remember which one...maybe "Passion"? And that was really good. Just depends on who is in it, and what it is about and if it will hold my interest. =)

Well i watched passion of the Christ in in a foreign language and really didn't mine too much so i guess not.
