Trying to convince a friend that just because a movie has subtitles that doesn't make it unwatchable.

What is your favorite subtitled movie I should show them to help convince them its ok? Action movies are out for this one so no IP mans.


Recent subtitled movies I have seen and enjoyed.
Headhunters, Oldboy, Big Bad Wolves.

Just having trouble remembering some good ones to help make a choice.

Thanks for any input.

If he can't watch and enjoy the original Oldboy, then your friend sucks balls IMO

This.

How about an old one: Throne of Blood or Yojimbo, Wild Strawberries or Ikiru, Bande a Parte...?

But if you really need a recommendation:

City of God
The Lives of Others

Would be recent, really excellent foreign films.

Yea, I think this may be the winner. I never saw it either, but looked up some old threads on here about it and everyone seemed to enjoy it.


Thanks

The Devil's Backbone
The Orphanage
Breathless (French version) if you think she'll like a sexy French classic

ETA: Good luck on changing your friend into a non-savage.

Ha well this thread is helping me change her ways and giving me some good movies to watch.


I am going to give her the option of Amelie, City of God, Diving Bell and the Butterfly, Breathless.

Thanks
