Do You Prefer Watching Foreign Films Subtitled Or Dubbed? – POLL RESULTS!
This week’s poll asked, “Do you prefer watching foreign films subtitled or dubbed?” I’d be the first to recognize that some foreign films have a certain charm when dubbed. Toho monster flicks like Godzilla or Rodan for instance. Juan Piquer Simón’s Slugs: The Movie wouldn’t be the same without that dubbing! But generally speaking I rather watch the vast majority of foreign films in their original language with the subtitles on. Clearly you agree! An overwhelming majority chose SUBTITLES ON!
Subtitled: 23 votes (88%)
Dubbed: 3 votes (12%)
Happy Friday!!
Have a goretacular weekend!
Cheers!

ianthecool-I like your lego icon! And of course I couldn’t agree more…in their original language is how foreign films should be watched!

I consider myself a dedicated lover of foreign movies and my objective
here is to present my list of top 100 foreign films that I think every
living human should make some attempt to watch at least once in life.
Watch these best foreign films!
The very best foreign language films – hallmarks of cinematic art!
Writing a lens on top 100 foreign films is a very personal experience
for me because I just don’t watch foreign movies, I spend hours
thinking about every detail of a scene that moved me. And I honestly
think that many of our greatest films, the very best movies in
cinematic history – actually are these foreign language films that
have originated outside Hollywood. Thoughts and debates welcome, but I
learned to appreciate that language in our regular sense is a pretty
imperfect medium of communication. These top foreign films have taught
me to transcend the flimsy barriers of these “localized” mediums that
I was so very much “used to”. Wherever there are humans, there are
stories…and music…and emotions…and talent to create wonders on
celluloid! And us, the fortunate beholders! So here goes my list of
top 100 foreign films…enjoy!
~ Cheers!
