What was the last movie you watched?

It is, it's really heartbreaking. I want to watch it again now (although I'll probably still look away with the facey bit!)

My boyfriend was trying to make me laugh through it so I wouldn't be too scared, so Beninga was nicknamed "Facey Woman" and Tomas was "Sad Sack"

aw sad sack lol Did you watch it dubbed or with subtitles?

I'm just wondering if anyone has seen the Japanese animated films 'Spirited Away' and 'My Neighbour Totoro' I just ordered them My boyfriend's friend has Spirited Away and my boyfriend couldn't get into it but said I would. The stories look really good and I've seen Totoro plushies and stuff every where! I'm into all these cute japanese characters and since I like disney films still I think I'll like these films.

Subtitles, I hate dubbed films!

Spirited Away is fantastic. Howl's Moving Castle is another really good Studio Ghibli one

Spirited Away is amazing! I have only seen the dubbed one of that film though. My Neighbour Totoro is very good too.
As are Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle, which was my least fave of the bunch, it's still good but imo, not as great as the others.

yeh I looked at Howl's Moving Castle but I couldn't afford all three. I think a friend recommended Princess Mononoke last year in college when japanese films came up into the conversation.

I dunno, I prefered Howl's Moving Castle to Princess Mononoke, but I know most people go the other way. Maybe I'm swayed by my love for Christian Bale <3

haha yes I saw the dubbed one with Bale too *swoons* I just preferred the story of the others, I still thought HMC was great, it's an original crazy idea, what's not to love
I have some very cute My Neighbour Totoro stamps hehe super cute and a kodama(the tree spirits) badge from Princess Mononoke.
I need to buy them myself, the dvds, but I want the undubbed ones..

you can usually get subtitles up if you just change the settings. I liked that about Pan's Labyrinth, it being all in Spanish and having to read the subtitles seemed to make me appriciate it more like made it more special.

Yeh I was wondering wether it would be just a setting change thing. I will check it out, I do have bday coming up soon

I don't think Howl's Moving Castle is dubbed, I think that's the original version. It was done with Disney or something.

Yeah I love films with subtitles, you get so much more involved, and after a while you just forget they're there anyway!

it's like you understand the language! I've never really got my head around other languages, I won't go into that because I confuse myself.

Yeh I think your right there KK. There is another of his films about a flying castle, can't think of what it's called right now. I haven't seen it yet.

Yes I love watching foreign films, it doesn't bother me at all, the subtitles that is. The first foreign film I remember seeing in the cinema was Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon in the IFC in Dublin That was cool, everyone was so hyped and I was all young and eughh subtitles haha

EDIT: It's called Laputa: Castle in the Sky
Howl's Moving Castle was originally filmed in Japanese but later dubbed into English
