I recently compared watching the first half-hour of the 1962 British film
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner first without, then with
English-language subtitles. I got so much more out of the film with the
subtitles, it was amazing. Whenever there are any linguistic issues with an
English-language film -- thick accents, slang, difficult language
(Shakespeare) -- I recommend using the English subtitles if they are
available on the DVD, which they increasingly are.
