Subtitled. It's the same thing. You're reading subtitles, unless you actually speak that language.

 

That's not the same, sound is more than just understanding the language. it's about the other sound effects, tone in the voice, music etc., it also helps that the subtitles are with the film instead of coming later explaining what you saw earlier. I have watched films in Japanese and French and that was fine.

What? how is that even close to the same thing, a silent film is a silent film, with a soundtrack maybe. A foreign language film is not a silent film.

Basically always, so dialogue has always been the only "silent" part. The only film I've ever seen in actual complete silence was The Passion of Joan of Arc and even that was by my own choice because it just felt appropriate.

Yeah, I've gotten 6 (7?) lists so far. I'm getting the feeling I might not have given people enough time.

 

Should I extend the deadline? Another week, maybe?

I already made a list so i'll submit one either way, but I'm fine with an extension that would give me time to see more.

Well yes, but the soundtrack accompanied the silent film originally, it wasn't actually atached to the film.

Alright. I did it. There's probably some rankings on here I would switch around but once you get past a certain point it's all kind of a mish-mash of mediocrity so it's kind of hard to rank. There might be a few I forgot to move around since I started this just by shuffling them around in Letterboxd.
