Nyezhov Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Train spotting! As long as it is subtitled for English speakers How about these cult films: The Last Executioner Pi ???? and my fav: Incubus, starring William Shatner, filmed entirely in Esperanto! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OneMoreFarang Posted November 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2018 Long time ago when it was raining and we had nothing better to do I watched that movie again and again with my friends on VHS. Even after watching it 20 times I still "found" new jokes when watching it again and again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small Joke Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Anything by Almadovar Le Vistieurs Le Ripoux Les Choiristes Betty Blue Like water for Chocolate Jump the gun Montenegro Bliss (from the Peter Carey novel) my all time fave. Not all of these are foreign lanfuage, but dont let subtitles get in the way of some serious bucket list flicks. Remakes in English usually dont cut it.

xylophone Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 A fairly "obscure" but good movie IMO, starring the late Alan Rickman is "Bottle Shock" (esp if you are a wine lover) and if you like Alan Rickman, then Galaxy Quest serves up a few laughs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexRich Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 28 minutes ago, tutsiwarrior said: yeah...and folks always said that glaswegian was impossible to understand... Erm, sorry folks. But Trainspotting is done with an Edinburgh accent, Glasgow is on the West of Scotland, Edinburgh is on the East and the accent is quite different. Begbie uses the term "ken" a great deal. "Do you ken that guy from Dundee", for example. It means do you know. Glaswegians do not use that term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow gets a lot of slaggin' off a lot of which is undeserved... I was born there and some of it is quite deserved. But the accents in Scotland are not often heard on TV around the world, so it can be difficult for people to understand. Subtitles make sense. The Transporting crew are working class kids from the Schemes, so they have a tougher to understand accent than an Edinburgh lawyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyezhov Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Look up Errementari on Netflix. Its real good as long as you have Pringles to go with it. Real good. There was also this Portgugues or Spanish one about a photographer meeting demons, but it was a bit....um......lets say too Brokeback Mountain for me. But good, I just gagged and covered my eyes.

If there are subtitles available I try and add them to just about every movie I watch these days. It makes it easier for my Thai partner to understand the dialogue, and for me as well as my hearing isn't what it used to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korkenzieher Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Not Not sure these count as 'Cult' movies, but I think they have a much deeper commentary than is apparent at first viewing; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Harry Brown. The Book of Eli. (and I'll add The Cook, the Thief, his wife and her Lover, Dark Star, the Third Man and Casablanca for style). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
