Are you willing to watch foreign films with subtitles?

Can anyone recommend some good foreign subtitled films? I can look on Netflix to see which ones we've seen and recommend some.

I normally play on laptop while watching tv, but with a subtitled movie you obviously have to give it your full attention.

Anything with Mads Mikkelsen in it!! He is one sexy Swede! Wish I could remember some titles. "Flame & Citron" is the only title I can recall. I liked it, but it isn't one of my Mads top five.

He's done American films, too. Just remembered - he was Dr. Hannibal Lector on the TV series Hannibal.
 

I watch foreign films a lot, and I always use the subtitles and closed caption so that is not a problem....using Netflix, I've been able to find some really good ones...love Netflix.

For sure, I second that, he's a fine actor. :) Mad's has been in some fantastic films foreign and other depending your local.

Have the time, I don't remember if a movie had subtitles or not, I've watched many foreign films, I'm not bothered by subtitles, I just know I'm going to have to hunker down if I want to get all the details and verbal nuances. The ones that sometimes give a little difficulty are the French ones as the subtitles go by really quickly as they speak a bit faster than some others. I've watched movies from other countries since I was a youngster, I was just curious that way if something happened to be on the screen that looked interesting, I'd pause the channel and watch and read along with the subtitles. :)

I'd have to think hard to remember which movies I saw had subtitles though, it's just not something I think about when choosing a film I think I may want to see.

The Hunt was one of the one's I first thought of. Good choice. :) I've yet to see him give a bad performance in anything though. He really killed as Hannibal. :D

Yes, I know, he was just as good in that. LOL!

PS, Hannibal was good the first two seasons, it went downhill season 3, I didn't watch more than 4 episodes of season 3 it was so bad, but not because of Mads, it was the writing that went wrong.

The first foreign language film I ever saw. No idea who Simone Signoret was...no idea what a Madam was. But wow, I knew I was seeing an exceptional performance. Now I have closed captioning on most shows. My hearing is shot...and I blame Deep Purple.

You too??? My ears rang for three weeks after a Deep Purple concert. There HAD to be permanent damage.
 
I'm a *very* slow reader. Not just making that up. I don't even have patience with comic strips that have more than two or three frames---I want to jump to the punch line. So, no, subtitles don't work well for me. :(
 
Ameriscot: I think I'd like that. I just finished watching Borgen, a Danish series with English subtitles about a woman prime minister. It was different and I enjoyed it, especially since I have trouble hearing dialogue these days and should look into getting hearing aids.

Not sure how you can get Trapped in the US (?). We watched it on BBC.
 
I love foreign drama. Often watching films and drama series. My recent favourite is The Bridge. A brilliant Swedish/Danish crime series.

The Bridge was on BBC 3, I think. I watched the 3 series on 'catch-up'. I was then given the first 2 series as Christmas gifts. Witnesses on Channel 4 was a French police drama and was really good too. I have tried to get a hold of Bergen, which is another Scandinavian drama but have not managed yet. I dont have Netflix. :(
