    I don't mind them either, Barry. Without them I'd be excluded from a huge part of the best cinema has to offer. As to dubbing, the Italian film industry never used to care much about accurate lip synchronization when matching sound and picture in their own films, never mind foreign ones.

    Personally I can't abide foreign language films dubbed into English.

    Subtitles for me every time too. Trouble with dubbed into English is that the dialogue/picture mismatch just makes them look like really bad actors. And I think the recording of the overdubs must be done in the studio or the toilet or something - the acoustics never fit the location and that does my head in a bit. Subtitles look like a bit of a chore for about 2 minutes, then you're used to it

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Performance was an amazing film, James Fox underwent a similar transformation in 'The Servant' a decade earlier. Clockwork Orange is one of my faves too, much of the enjoyment is in the dialogue.
