I am trying to learn french and have looked online to see if I can download or buy french movies with french sub ( including amazon)- but am getting frustrated as dont seem to get anywhere.

Has anybody dealt with this before or knows a title that would recomend- would appreciate any help.

Faut que vous commandiez d'Amazon en France qui a une plus bonne choix.
Des titres possibles-
Etre et Avoir
Le Diner des Cons
Amelie
Le Roi Lion
Les Choristes
Tous les films Disney

Avez-vous essayez des versions differents, par exemple, film en anglais, sous-titres en francais? Bonne chance!

(Desolee, pas d'accents possibles!)

DrSeuss · 03/02/2011 18:19

Ou bien, avez vous essaye. Petit gosse de 4 ans veut que je l'ecoute!

Renniehorta · 03/02/2011 18:32

Il faut acheter les dvds en France. On peut aussi les commander chez FNAC. Sinon quand je regarde un film francais avec des soustitres en anglais je mets des post-its au pied de l'ecran. Comme ca je suis moins temptee de les lire.

Mon film francais prefere est 'le diner de cons' c'est tres rigolo. Je suis allee le voir comme piece de theatre a Paris. Fantastique.

DrSeuss · 03/02/2011 18:49

Oui, nous faisons aussi le truc des post its au college. Quelque fois ca va miieux si on regarde un film qu'on a deja vu en sa langue maternelle.
Rennie- francaise, prof ou les deux?! Suis anglaise, prof de langues.

Renniehorta · 03/02/2011 19:16

DrSeuss Je suis anglaise aussi. J'etais prof de langues mais il y a 2 ans j'ai pris ma retraite.

Voila pourquoi j'ai le temps de perfectionner mon francais avec des visites a Paris et aussi de regarder beaucoup de films.

J'avais completement perdu ma passion pour les langues mais maintenant je l'ai redecouverte.

DrSeuss · 03/02/2011 19:20

Vous voulez dire que, quand vous n'etiez plus obligee d'enseigner aux petits fouteurs des phrases utiles comme "Pour aller au supermarche, svp?" !!!

wayoftheworld · 03/02/2011 19:32

I have just started to learn french so have no idea what you guys are talking about...

DrSeuss I had a look at Amelia on Amazon, but it has only english subtitles and since in movies the language is quite fast is hard for me to follow. But I love Disney movies so will go back to Amazon and have a look again...

I already have La Veuve de Sanit-Pierre, but it only has english sub, which is ok for me to understand what is going on..but I need at least a movie with french sub so I can see words written as well...

Sorry for being a pain in the backside and I am very THANKFUL to your addvice already. Need to go and find dictionary to translate the above conversation..

I ordered few months ago two dvd from Amazon.fr called "drule le petite betes" which is adorable to watch and my kids love it, only there are no sub at all. There are a couple of DVD on amazon in french Little Marmaid and Hercules, but they are only to be used for north america DVD players (zone 1) No idea why they would sell them in UK, but even them have only English subs.

So HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

DrSeuss · 03/02/2011 19:49

Amazon.fr, not Amazon.co.uk

wayoftheworld · 03/02/2011 19:54

I am on it right now...very exiting!! Have already found some walt disney movies that my kids would watch with me!!!

THANK YOU !!

Les 400 coups
Entre les Murs
Manon des fleurs (and the one before it but can't remember the name)
Amelie
The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
Partir
White Material
Deep Blue
Betty Blue

Je pense que pas tous des titres ont des sous - titres on francais, mais j'espere que vous les aimez.

bambiandthumper · 03/02/2011 20:06

en francais

LADYBOAK · 03/02/2011 20:08

Je recommande particulierement le diner de cons, c'est super marrant ! Je l'ai vu au moins 20 fois et je suis morte de rire a chaque fois !

Renniehorta · 03/02/2011 21:02

Je suis tout a fait d'accord au sujet du diner des cons. C'est super marrant et encore mieux comme piece de theatre.

DrSeuss je peux aussi recommander
Manon des Sources
Jean de Florette (surtout si tu aimes le grand Gerard)
Recemment j'ai beaucoup aime Paris.
Vieux mais vous fera rire La cage aux folles.

Chaque mois nous avons une reunion pour discuter un film francais que nous avons regarde a la maison. Et nous discutons en francais!

Et non je fais plus de cours,

Renniehorta · 03/02/2011 21:02

Paris c'est le nom du film!

LADYBOAK · 03/02/2011 21:44

Itiniraire d'un enfant gate pour les fans de claude lelouch ! J'adore ce film !

Just ordered Aladin and Merlin from Amazon.fr - to start with! Will see how things go with them, although can't see the kids complaining.

Will save this thread for future ref for the other titles. Thank you guys!!

Sorry if this is too late, but I found a french channel on skyTV, that had news ,films etc. if you have sky go to international and just scroll down. It's really helped my french
