Are there any good, recent Dutch films or TV series available on DVD?
Do native Dutch materials ever have Dutch subs (e.g. for hard of hearing)? Are non-English foreign films dubbed or subbed? Are there any good local shops to buy cheap DVDs (e.g. maybe Supermarkets) ? Thanks. I must try and visit soon and grab a few things. Edited by schoenewaelder on 07 November 2014 at 4:43pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Good Flemish series: "Het eiland," "Van vlees en bloed," "Quiz me quick" (3 comedy shows). If you get the DVD version, there should be Dutch subtitles on there. "Flikken Maastricht" (a crime show) is a good one for Dutch as it is spoken in the Netherlands.
"The Broken Circle Breakdown" is the best Flemish film in recent years. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I like "Flikken Maastricht" because it is quite dramatic and the subtitles are very accurate. However, there is a lot of background "spannende" music to enhance the action and suspense which I find to be an annoyance. I watch the streaming version on line and I have not been able to find a way to download the subtitles to a text file apart from OCR using Subrip which is a very slow and frustrating process. Has anyone bought the DVDs and tried to get a text version of the subtitles? The DVDs are reasonably inexpensive: Flikken Maastricht DVDs EDIT: I see that they have Region 2 protection which makes no sense at all, and a big pain. Question: Can anyone confirm that there are Dutch subtitles on the DVDs? Other languages? Edited by tommus on 23 November 2014 at 12:04am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

DVD Decrypter download. I can't promise it is virus free, any more. It always was in the past, but you may wish to scan it before installing. I have found a dozen or so movies in the library. A couple seem to have subtitles. I shall report back in due course. off topic, I was mildly amused by some comments over on imdb "I was the one saying I'm from the south and often didn't like Dutch films. That is because I find the (Amsterdam) accent very irritating, maybe it's personal, I don't know. But now a friend made me watch Simon and I must admit, I loved it. " "Thanks for sharing your taste in accents but what has a Amsterdam accent has to do with this movie? Simon speaks "brabants",like all proper hasj dealers xD" [edit] It seems the only one I've got with dutch subtitles (voor doven en slechthorenden) is "De Gelukkige Huisvrouw". They seem to follow the spoken dialogue pretty closely, although abridged. Unfortunately most of the films, including this one, aren't the sort I'd normally choose to watch for pleasure. "Simon" does seem like fun though. Edited by schoenewaelder on 27 November 2014 at 7:38pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

I just stumbled on this, but I've no idea if it's any better than any alternatives. Just
click on the "CC" to get subs in the vid. There seems to be an option to register, but no idea what the advantage is. Bert 'n Ernie Edited by schoenewaelder on 26 November 2014 at 8:16pm 2 persons have voted this message useful |
