By now you should know I am a movie buff and I like watching different kinds of TV shows unlike when I was younger. I used to like to read books a lot (book worm) but now I mostly read online. 
Anyway I saw this one movie several months ago and curiously it had three languages being spoken by the characters! English, Spanish and French! No it wasn't dubbed at all, nor was it a movie language selection. The movie lead actor simply is multilingual. The rest are bilingual only.
Oh it was such a fun creative movie. Add to that the combination of hearing the three languages being spoken in one movie, I enjoyed it thoroughly. (With the help of English subtitles of course). The movie title is The Science of Sleep.
Any other movie/shows you can recommend that has multiple languages spoken? (I don't like dubbed ones though.) If not, do you enjoy watching movies or other shows in a different language?

@owstalaga The movies on DVDs sold in Switzerland always have Italian, French German and English, the 3 Swiss languages plus the original soundtrack that most of the time is English.

@LadyDuck oh do you mean subtitles? I meant languages actually spoken in the movie. Lemme edit my discussion for clarity.

I have seen several movies in which several languages have been spoken depending on the characters who were talking. I even remember a movie about the last days of Christ in which Latin and Aramaic were spoken

I like watching movies too but I do not like to read the subtitles so I always pick the ones that are in English language. There was only one movie that I really love which is in different language. Life is Beautiful. But I had to watch it over again as I was busy reading the translation the first time I watched it. This is probably the reason why I prefer the ones that don't need to be translated. I find the subtitles distracting. :)

I do. Subtitles is a life saver. Without that, movie becomes a alien watch

@InnovationReaction Oh for me if the movie is in English and there's an English sub it distracts me. But it is useful when the volume is low or the words are hard to understand.

@owstalaga before watching a movie, the first on my list is to download subs. I don't want to miss a single word subs completes the movie experience
