I do not choose a movie based on the language, I choose the movies that are great. Therefore, I watch movies made in different languages. Actually some of my best movies are the movies in foreign language. Do you watch foreign language movies, what are your favorite foreign language movies?

Well, I only watched movies in foreign languages only when there is subtitles. No way I could enjoy it without that. Quality movies can come from anywhere. As a matter of fact, I have watched some important foreign movies like French 'Amélie' and Italian Cinema Paradiso. Yhey are all wonderful movies.
It has never been easier watching foreign language movies like we have now. This was made possible with some incredible streaming services like Netflix and subtitles are readily available. I watched 'Roma' which was a Mexican movie. I also remember watching The Lunchbox, which is Indian.
I watch a lot of Korean movies and TV shows. If not for the use of subtitles, there's no way I would be able to understand what they are saying. I watched a new one recently which was a Netflix movie called Uprising. I was surprised they had it done with English language.
Movies out of Japan feel like low-budget borderline soap opera casting and filming, so I don't watch any of them, as if I could if I wanted to because they're not dubbed.
Some movies coming out of Europe are good though. I haven't seen many foreign films on Netflix until Covid and the Hollywood strike put a pause on productions.
The last foreign film I watched was The Abyss, a Swedish film about a mine collapse that takes the town above it with it, cratering the town. The acting wasn't that bad, and the special effects could be better, but it wasn't an overall bad movie. It at least broke a 5/10 on IMDb with an aggregated rating of 5.3 from over 9000 raters, which is about where I would place it.
There are several other foreign films that I've watched in the past few years, but can't recall them because I haven't saved that information along with the movies that I've watched; I'm surprised that I remembered the one title as it is.

It was a good movie. Mel Gibson makes better movies than the movies were he has acted.

I watch a lot of Kung Fu and Bollywood films. They are such a departure from the Hollywood films many of us know, so they exciting, different and fresh in that respect.
I don't have any problem with watching movies in a foreign language, but of course, obviously I like to watch them in my language, otherwise I have to watch them with subtitles, unless I understand that other language in which I'm watching the movie.
