Do you like to watch movies in other languages with English sub-titles?

Well, i'm not from english speaking country, so lots of movie i watched are subtitled ;) And with that 'decades-of-experience' i can cockily say that i can read subs pretty fast. So when the actor really saying them, i know the meaning already. I dont really mind what kind of language they're using as the subs, as long i understand the language (and since i only know two language, that's very limited really ;) ) I think sometimes the subtitle can help you understand other language. What i meant was, i once watched bollywood movie with malaysian subtitle. Now, indonesian and malaysian language are not just slightly different. So there are some words that i dont understand, but i make assumption and when i next watched another bollywood movie with malaysian subtitle, i understand the words. I found that watching movie in other language can also expand your language. I watched japanese anime and i should say that after a while, i understand some words without looking at the subtitle. You know, like, "sumimasen' (i dont know whether that's the right pronoun, that's the way i heard it :P) or "gomenasai" or the simple "arigato" When i watched chinese soap opera (with subs of course!) i can also pick words from there. It's like reading agatha christie's hercule poirot series! I picked up french words from there (though i dont know how to say them lol) Oh my, i think i'm OOT! sorry! So to back to to the topic: Yes, i like watching movies in other language with english subs. And i would even prefer watching english movies with english subs :D

It's okay with me to watch foreign movies with Engslish subtitles, only if the movie is good. But I prefer to watch English movie and movie from my country. It's hard to watch movie with subtitles. Most of the time I pay more attention on reading the subtitles than watching the scene. But still get the what is the story all about. It seems like I am not watch. Its like I'm only reading a book. God Bless, take care and happy mylotting!

I don't mind it a bit. Foreign movies are often superior to the crap America churns out and the subtitles are just a minor inconvenience for me.

Yes, I do like to watch foreign films particularly when the story plot it got was quite interesting, well as long as the subtitles were pretty good. The problem with buying pirated cd, sometimes we get a not so good and gibberish subtitles that even though the movie was quite good, cant appreciate it. But I really like to watched foreign films, especially Japanese films too, very interesting and the movies were quite good too.

I tried doing this but it's very hard. I either look at the screen and try to understand what's going on or I read the subtitles and miss out on what's showing. I really prefer movies to be dubbed. Using my eyes and looking at both the picture and words is just too much work. SO if it's a foreign film then I might not be excited to watch it anymore.

I don't usually enjoy foreign movies with English subtitles, or even English movies with foreign subtitles (too distracting). I have, however, watched one movie in Spanish with English subs and absolutely LOVED it. It was called Pan's Labyrinth. Only subtitled movie I've ever enjoyed, and it was amazing.

Yup, i like watching animes so i have to say yes to this... haha... sometimes i surf channels on cable and if it has subtitles and it interests me then of course i'll watch it... =)

If the movie is good then i would like to watch it. As long as the translation are not so fast that i need to chase reading the translation lol I have watch korean movies too and so far i like it. They have interesting love stories too.

I do the reverse, English as language and Swedish as the subtitle. (By being a Swed, that wouldn't be too surprising, I hope.) But when I watch Japanese movies, it must be Japanese language with Swedish subtitle. Because I've had too many experiences with movies having very weird voice actors for the not-original language. But once I watched a movie with Danish speech, because Danish are quite similar to Swedish, so I understood most of the things. :) Happy myLotting, Smilyn!

I'm fond of watching Korean movies with subtitle especially those romantic movies, the plot is always heartwarming and heartbreaking :)

me too.i am also a fan of japanese and other asian movies with English sub-titles.I like the action movies and the anime.Of course the chick-flicks are also great.I really enjoy watching them.Actually im in the middle in watching a Japanese anime about a boxer.I realy find Asian movies and films interesting and geart to watch.

I would like to , I love watching films with other langages , specially the french ones , because I'm learning it , and watching movies from this kind help me a lot to accumulate vocabulary , expressions , grammar rules ... any way , each film has its own caracter ,and one of the most important caracter is the "langage".. Generally I like watching all kinds of movie , the english ones , the french ones , the japanes ones ,... and each of it gives different pleasures from the others.

Yeah. I do it all the time. Love to learn other languages also. You can guess the meaning of certain words by listening and reading. But you sometimes did not understand the movie in the end.

well there is one movie i like that is in subtitles. its kung fu hustle. it is extremely hilarious.

I am a lazy wolf and to be honest I steer clear of any program or film with subtitles I prefer just to relax and watch the film not concentrate on the text on the screen, it's being multi-skilled and I can't do that when watching tv. Even if it's a film that looks good or a good write up, I still won't watch it if it's got subtitles.

i do. i live in canada and french is one of our official languages (english is the other) so, i have watched french movies with english subtitles. i am a history fanatic and also like to watch war movies, so i have watches german movies (hubby is german and sometimes i can get the basic idea of the sentance, but the subtitles do help!)

I guess because most movies I watch with my children and the boys can't read well enough for sub titles, I usually prefer movies that we all can enjoy and that would be english speaking ones. However my daughter has recently gotten into some anime and stuff where there is a lot of sub titles and she still really enjoys watching it. I really enjoyed The orphanage and a couple other spainish films where there weren't any sub-titles at all but my whole family enjoyed them. If it is a good film it can break the language barrier.

i don't enjoy other foreigh movies because it's kind of hard to focus your attention in reading sub-titles.. i have seen some chinese movies and they were great but reading the english subtitles made me feel dizzy at all.

I prefer watching movies with english subtitle rather having the movie dubbed in english. Their expression changes when they dubbed. For example, I watched a korean movie called "My sassy girl". They dubbed it in tagalog. It was funny but I think it was funnier when they were speaking korean.

I don't like to watch movies in languages which I don't understand even if they contain subtitles...watching movies with subtitles distracts me and I find myself reading the subtitles rather than watching the movie itself...
