Do you watch movies that are in a language you are comfortable with, with subtitles?

A few people always give me funny looks when they come to the house and I pause an English film, and I have the subtitles on. Thinking about it, I have no idea why I do it, and it has become habit. :lol:

Anyone else do this?

I do but mostly at night. And sometimes if the movie features dialogue with heavy accents/dialects (Scottish etc.)

Ahm, no, I never do that. What's the fun in that? :lol:

I watch them with English subtitles when available. Prefer English ones over Swedish on English-speaking films, because my mind automatically zone out the dialogue when I can just look at the Swedish text and that makes me miss the subtle things in the voice.

I often do this, especially when dialogue is buried in the sound mix or there are other things going on around the house that distract my hearing from the dialogue.

Perhaps oddly, I find that I also have to turn on subtitles when I'm watching a film whlst eating: I can't listen and eat at the same time, apparently :lol:

Are you talking about watching movies in your native language? In that case, it's something new to me. :lol:
