I love watching movies and I don't care how many spoken language there is in a certain movie just as long as it has subtitles. I watch movies no matter what country it was made just as long as the story is unique and is really interesting

Yes I have watched a movie in foreign language, I
did enjoy it. I do not do it often, but I do, do it.
If I can not find one in English, I will watch a
foreign film.
Have a great New Year.

I am a Filipino. English is not also my mother tongue but i like watching English movies. I learn many things from the. I also improve my vocabulary. Honestly, I watch English movies more than Filipino movies. My favorite series is CSI. I like watching it because i learn things about police and investigation process. I love their work its very challenging and u get to learn so may things. Aside from that i also watch other movies in Japanese and other languages with subtitles of course. Have a great time watching them.

Yes, sure. Nowadays we can watch a foreign movies easily.We have movie channel which will select different types and countries' movies for the audiences.The cinema will show foreign movie too.But the ticket price is high, so usually we will watch a foreign movie online, there are many sites provide movies free.
I like Chinese action movies,French comedy movies, and Hollywood movies!

When Asian Martial Arts movies first came out, they were usually in Chinese. So I watched a lot of them in Chinese with English sub-titles. Sometimes when there was action or yelling at the same time, that was really, really hard.
Parts of the Star Trek movies had sub-titles, people were speaking the made-up languages of some of the other planets.
Sometimes I watch some movies in French. Some with sub-titles and some without. Comedies and love stories are not too hard, but beyond that, I need the sub-titles.

I am an Indian and English is not my mother tongue. I love to watch English movies. There are so many great movies in English and I love to watch them. I am crazy about movies and watch them whenever I get time. I can watch any movie in any language with subtitles. I do not need subtitles for English, Hindi and Bengali. For the rest I need the subtitles.
We get a channel in our television names UTV WORLD MOVIES. The channel shows movies of every language with english subtitles. I watch those movies often. Most of the times I do not even know the actual language of the movie, but I must say, those movies are pretty good.

I don't like to watch movies in other languages but I have watched some in Thai that feature Tony Jaa. They are martial art movies so you don't have to pay much attention to the dialogue.

Oh yes, i absolutaly love all the bollywood movies. They have the english subtitles, so i can enjoy one movie a week, without worrying to understand anything they say. I think a lot af people need to enjoy other cultures when it comes to movies, as there is so much you can learn of other people.

I love watching movies in foreign languages. I think it is really interesting to watch movies from other countries, and I have had the chance to watch movies from a couple of different countries in Europe and Asia for instanse Germany, France, Italy, Poland, China, Japan, Thailand, South Korea and Russia. In my country we always use subtitles when we watch a foreign movies, and I am happy about that, because I prefer to listen to the original language, and I have even learned a few words in other languages that way.

Yes, I got used to watch movies in a foreign language. In the local tv channels they broadcast sometimes movies in English, and as it's easy for me to understand I usually watch them to practice -and to entertain me a little, of course-. It's also interesting when you have watched the movie dubbed and in original language, because you can compare.
