A long time ago, long before I ever considered learning French, a French teacher told me that when he showed his students French films, he put the French subtitles on so the students could catch all the words. I think this would be a great way to watch French films.
The only problem is, I've checked out loads of French DVD's on Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.fr and I can't find a single film which lists French as one of the subtitle languages. Could anyone suggest one? 2 persons have voted this message useful | |

As far as I know, virtually all French DVDs include French captions. At least, this is the case in Canada.

Unfortunately French movies and French subtitles is a rare combination on dvd. I have the Maigret boxes with English but no French Subs, for instance. However, the same films and series are often shown on French television with subs. I read somewhere that it's a legislation thing, but it applies only to television, not to dvd:s. I have a couple of French channels in my cable network. Don't know, if you're that lucky.
There is a discussion on Amazon: http://how-to-learn-any-language.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?T ID=29071&PN=1 /aloysius 1 person has voted this message useful | |

If you can bear to watch cartoons the box set of the films of Le roi Babar and Le Triomphe de Babar have subtitles in French. The classic series of Star Trek also has French/German/Italiam dubbing and subtitles (although the dubbing and subtitles often vary quite alot). The Simpsons DVDs sold as Simpsons Classics have a French option and there are complete transcripts on the net here: http://www.simpsonspark.com/scripts/scripts_list.php. You can also buy a French TinTin box set on Amazon.fr which has subtitles. Then there is Buffy contre les vampires . . .
