Usually i don't like subtitles because I'm not a fast reader and you spend to much time looking at the words than at the story on the screen. But if the movie is made right the action doesn't take place while you're reading. This is a great film. |

I'd add Seven Samurai, The Seventh Seal, and the Battle of Algiers. I think this may start to intersect with another thread, but I'm a horror / sci fi guy, so: The Thing From Another Planet The Day the Earth Stood Still The Haunting The Innocents Though I suppose these last four constitute personal favorites, rather than great movies called for in the thread title. |
