Wow! Thank you. That will definitely simplify the search for interesting movies with decent subs. I found a few errors on the list, including OSS 117, Le Caire nid d'espions, which actually has only about 3K of French subtitles for some Arabic dialog. So it's probably worth double-checking before ordering a DVD from France. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Have another I can add thanks to Netflix: Indochine (region 1). All the others I've
gotten so far only have English and sometimes Spanish. I'll keep a look-out for others. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Exact transcript for Jean Cocteau's La Belle et la Bête. Philip Glass used the scenario as a libretto for an opera, if you're wondering why such a thing would be on a Philip Glass fan page. DVD and Blu Ray available from Criterion in the US: their page for the film
Very close to exact transcript for À nos amours. Click "découpage" to get to the script (frames or whatever was used to write that page won't let you hotlink). DVD availabe from Criterion in the US: their page for the film Those two films are fantastic, IMO. But they're not for everyone so you may want to netflix them first if you're thinking about using one of them. Also French DVD company Gaumont list all of their titles featuring "Sous-titres français pour sourds et malentendants". There are several hundred titles there. Last, here's a Word Document transcript of Amélie. Get it while it's hot. I have no idea if the site hosting the file knows it's bleeding into Google's search engine. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I just came across a sale on DVD box sets of TV series here in Montreal and bought a bunch of them, discovering
no less than 5 more québécois series with complete French subtitles. Aveux Le Dernier Chapitre Les Bougon Minuit, Le soir Les hauts et les bas de Sophie Paquin I have not watched any of them yet but a quick look suggests the subtitles are very accurate. Two other series had no subtitles, Omertà and La Vie La Vie. 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Three more, all from Netflix (Region 1):
L'Histoire d'Adèle H. (François Truffaut, 1975). Standard French and Canadian French - Acadian? The movie was set in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but I don't know if they used "Québécois" in the film or the actual local dialect. L'enfant (Jean-Pierre Dardenne, Luc Dardenne, 2005). The pronunciation was different than the French I'm used to (maybe it was working class, or a Belgian accent), but the subtitles didn't have much slang, and so were easy to follow. La nuit Américaine (Day for Night; François Truffaut, 1973). There is a lot of slang and movie terms, so the subtitles are more difficult to follow for the beginner student. I was missing a lot and switched to English subtitles. Edited by kanewai on 18 December 2012 at 8:34pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

This week I discovered 7 jours sur la planete on TV5. It is a 25 minute roundup of the
week's international news, but it is made for learners. On the bottom right of the screen they subtitle everything said. I have only watched 2 episodes, but the portions spoken by the newsreader have nearly perfect subtitles. The bits spoken by the guest, or by people in the news, are less exact. I know this isn't a film, but I am just so happy to have found the programme, and I am at just the right place in my French studies to really want to use this every week. EDIT: there are also learning materials connected with the programme available on the TV5 website. Edited by Jeffers on 24 December 2012 at 12:57am 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Séraphine, a marvelous film and well worth seeing, only has English subtitles on the DVD I bought, but the subtitles available online appear to be word perfect.
