Last Film You Watched

Anyone ever bought a DVD, foreign language film and its turned out there were no subtitles? I mean a European DVD, R2 but not a UK release, or do they pretty much all have English subtitles?

It's a bit of a lottery in many ways, but the different Amazon sites around Europe often say in the product details if/what subs are included (it's not always completely accurate, though). I wouldn't say that most R2 discs across Europe come with English subs, not by a long stretch. Copyright & distribution issues come into it, too. Over the years I've bought loads of DVDs of French films in France - some have English subs, but most probably don't, and on balance it's much more likely a disc won't have them. If there's any particular DVDs you're looking for, let me know here (or PM me) and I can try to find out for you.
 
Watched Unhinged before, new Russel Crowe film, bit of a road rage film following by a stalk in a car, reminded me of Duel but with more talking and violence. Was ok but was a bit too violent for my taste in film, fella the size of Crowe punching a woman in the face...etc and killing random people, bit much, if you dont mind violent films might be ok but wasnt for me

Nice one Daz, the one im after im told hasnt got English subs, Yugoslavian film called Battle of Neretva, i was going to buy this Scandanavian DVD but ill pass on it and find another source.
Subtitles can be odd, ive had a film on video years ago and then bought a DVD and the text has been different haha
 
Watched "The Adjustment Bureau" last night.
Easy watch, though not sure what it's meant to be?

A science fiction adventure romantic comedy? Probably.

Still, decent premise.

Plus Emily Blunt.
 
It wasn't quite a film so I'm not sure how appropriate it is in this thread, but I saw Two squirrels fighting in my back garden this morning.

I think they live there because I see them almost every day. The slightly smaller one took a bit of a decking even though it was all over within around 15 seconds.

Official rating: 8/10 would recommend

The 1969 one? There is a UK DVD of it with English audio (Arrow distributed it), but I'm guessing you specifically need the subs? Not sure which version is on the UK DVD, and I know there are at least a couple of different cuts of the film.

O thanks for that info, ive just found a source for the copy of the Arrow release, have to decide on that or try to find one with the original language and subs. I watched Magnificent Seven again the other day and it jogged my memory on Yul Brynner films
