Default Re: OT: Recommended Movies

Here in Australia we have an entire government run channel that shows foreign films and programs, SBS (Special Broadcasting Station). I don't know much about US TV stations but from the endings of the US documentaries it shows PBS programs sort of stuff, I think. They do their own subtitles in yellow writing which is supposedly the best. When they have programs with their own subtitles in white, people ring up to complain. So most people in Australia are used to reading the subtitles while watching French, or German, or Chinese films etc. As well as the Documentaries and films there is stuff like Lebanese soap opera or Austrian Detective shows (Inspector Rex). On saturday nights they used to have cult movies like italian horror films or Anime, until they sacked the presenter for some reason. In relation to the Anime, his Last name was even Mangan.
