I like watching foriegn films. According to my friend Nick, every Hollywood movie is technically a foreign film for me. Technicality aside, I mean non-english movies with english sub-titles. According to me and several others, the big difference between books and movies is the how books allow our imagination to run wild while movies limit it by providing us with visual stimuli. Both has its pros and cons. But movies with sub-titles to an extent has a bit of both worlds. As I dont understand the language, I am free to interpret how the dialogue was delivered and what the character really meant.
Here is a movie reccommendation to feel what I am talking about: Pan's labyrinth

Well..I personally used to think that books are way better than movies. But for once, I have been proven wrong. Chronicles of Narnia. The movie is way better. Is it coz I read the books after watching the movie? Am not sure. But Pan's Labyrinth was totally magical. Maybe even more so coz it was in Spanish and seemed more original.
Pan's Labyrinth was every bit worth that Oscar. Absolutely mind-blowing. I was so gullible that at one point, I DID think her imagination was the reality!
