Weird topic I know because I can watch anything with subtitles, but is there anything in particular that strikes out to people? Something where maybe the sound or acting doesn't need to be that great but the story is pretty good?
I like all this stuff except for The Seventh Seal. I watched it as a teenager and it just bored me. But maybe you'll enjoy it more, ProtoChimp.Dismal purple said:Watch foreign stuff where you won't understand the language anyway. The Seventh Seal is good for references and doesn't have a lot of sound effects.
Use the excuse to read books though. Patrick Modiano won last year's Nobel Prize and a lot of his books are short and easily digestible. There are a lot of classics like Mice and Men that are also short.
Try watching it as an adult. Ingmar Bergman is all about extistentialism that is easily relatable. It's almost simplistic.Queen Michael said:I like all this stuff except for The Seventh Seal.

The comic's just called "Scott Pilgrim." Unless you're referring to the second volume specifically.Theminimanx said:Read a book ;-P. Or some comics. Scott Pilgrim versus the world is pretty great.
Maybe. I definitely won't forget about it at least. On Sweden's new bills, there's a picture of Bergman talking to Max von Sydow as Death on-set.Dismal purple said:Try watching it as an adult.

Seconded, with added recommendation of pretty much anything by Buster Keaton. In particular, Sherlock, Jr. (1925), The General (1926) and Steamboat Bill, Jr. (1928).DrownedAmmet said:YOU SHOULD TRY WATCHING SILENT MOVIES, ESPECIALLY CHARLIE CHAPLIN ONES! CITY LIGHTS, MODERN TIMES, AND THE GREAT DICTATOR ARE MY PERSONAL FAVORITES!! (THOUGH THE LAST ONE USED SOUND A BIT)
