International Movies versus Local Movies...

I always go for the originals.You don't get the life and soul of the movie in the dubbed versions.The real emotions of the actors will be definitely lost in the dubbed ones.Moreover every word cannot be interpreted in the true meaning of it in every other language.

Hello aseretdd, I like to watch a good quality international movies - doesn't matter the language they used in the movie. It has been quite some times since the last time I watched local movies due to lack of qualities. I remember watching the good ones but there were just a few of them. The rest of the local movie products really sucked. I am not patriotic enough - when you talk about supporting your own local movies made by your own people, but it doesn't mean I am not patriotic at all.

Hello aseretdd, I love both and always find time to watch international as well as local Movies! I am quite picky about local, I will only consider the love story and comedy with my favorite stars~

As you can observe from my profile,I'm from India and India boasts of the second largest film industry in the world. So obviously,I prefer to watch Indian movies produced in the Bollywood, which has been the nickname given to Indian Hindi film industry. Though Hollywood movies are undoubtedly better in the quality and every other aspect, some of the Bollywood movies are also of good quality feel that local made films are more liked by people if they have good quality storyline, action, cinematography, acting, music etc.

Seriously our local films haven't produced any movies worth watching; and I would not consider paying money to watch them. I prefer the international movies from US or UK (English-speaking) and Hongkong (Chinese movies). Others like Japan, Korea and Thai do have some good movies, but I usually watch only their horror productions.

i also prefer to watch international movies rather than local movies.. whenever i watch a local movie i can find that it was based on foreign movies or the storyline was very close.. or always depicts rich status characters as most recent movies are showing bunch of rich kids having big time family businesses.. anyway, as a compliment to local films, i noticed that it has now evolved though slow and now uses more advance filming techniques and effects..

Well, I am an American so your favorite foreign films are my local movies. That said I do like watching movies from other countries. I prefer them to be in their native tongue with subtitles.

I like Norwegian movies the best. They have become much much better during the last decade, and more movies are made every year too. I like foreign movies as well. But sometimes it is nice to see a film where people talk my language, and the story is more in tune with my way of living, and I know all the ingredients in the film. I know all the references

I definitely prefer international movies to local movies here because the local movies here suck! They find some youngsters here to make movies but I really don't think they can act, that's why I hate watching local movies, it's a waste of time.

I watch all sorts of movies. Most of the movies I watch are from Hollywood. However, I also watch movies from Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. I especially like movies from Japan. As for local movies (Singapore movies), I only watch when my parents want to to watch. My parents like local movies as it's funny. However, most of the jokes are local jokes which only locals understand. If foreigners were to watch, I doubt they will understand a single joke.

i don't really like to watch local movies. the plot is so boring. with almost the same "popular" but not so talented starlet and actors potraying the same drama and all. i watch local indie films though. i think they are more artistic in terms of cinematography and plot. i like to watch international films also. specially those action and fantasy movies.

I love international movies, though I'm not referring to US blockbusters. I really love European and Asian movies. I will watch US movies, because my partner likes them, but I find the majority of them meaningless, unless they are 'indie' films. I rarely watch Australian films (which are my local movies) as I can rarely find anything about them I connect with. There are a few exceptions, but I tend to not like Australian films.

To me its not so much as where the film was shot and produced but the film itself. For example I love horror films-everything from the B&w silent Nosferatu and Freaks to modern The Others. My favorite movie is Breakfast @ Tiffany's. I also love Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and House of the Flying Daggers. My sister hates anything in B&W or that is silent-I feel she is missing out. My daughter doesn't like reading subtitles or anything too "boring" as she puts it.

i love international movies too because of so many reasons such as the actor and actresses, modern technology effects, the story, the director and so on. i watched movie with local artist but internationally made. we have some known artist here have a privilege to joined some Hollywood actor. watching local movies seems you know already what will happen in the end.

I'm not much of a movie goer but like you I mostly watch or maybe prefer to watch international movie since I can definitely see the level of quality. But in local movies most of the films I watch are those indi films and or short movies.. I'm not really into mainstream movie industry here in my country. Though the indi movies here are low budgeted but the story and how it can affect you are great which I think what the big movie makers lack.

I actually do not watch movies very much. i like some international and some local movies. there are many nice films made at our copuntry. i like mainly art films/

Back when I was still in college, my peers and I would consider the local movies cheap and boring. But that was more than a decade ago. Now, I would say that the film industry here in the Philippines has quite improved and some of the film outfits have already produced a lot of quality films which have received awards and recognition, at one point in time, outside the country. I must admit that I don't have plenty of time to watch movies, whether local or foreign. As a matter of fact, it's been more than five years since I watched a movie in a theater house. Also, my husband would almost always be the one holding the remote of the television. But whenever I do, I've noticed that I would watch both local and foreign ones.

Hello,aseretdd! Actually i watch films of English language and the local Hindi and Oriya films.I never go to halls for watching films whatever is telecast through tv channels I just watch.but the preference is more for local films.thanx.

I'll always say international movies. Tagalog films need to be better and you're right, same tagline, same plot, same story. It gets boring. At least in the Philippines the movie doesn't have to be dubbed in Tagalog also. In Spain, Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter is dubbed. Kinda ruins the film for me. Someone as hot as Orlando Bloom as Legolas or Ben Barnes as Prince Caspian wouldn't look and sound hot enough if dubbed. Lol.

i'd rather prefer international film's....yet sometimes i go with local tooo
