Subtitles on movies
When I want to watch movies, I always go to the rental shop near my apartment and rent DVDs. All of the movies filmed in other than Japan have Japanese subtitles and some English movies have English subtitles which always help me understand English. But others have only Japanese subtitles. So when I can't listen to the words there is no way to know what actors and actlesses said. I wish all the English movies had English subtitles.
Does ''English movies'' mean movies which actors and actresses speak English in?
Or does it only mean movies filmed in England.
Thank you for reading my notebook!

Subtitles on movies
When I want to watch movies, I always go to the rental shop near my apartment to rent DVDs. All of the movies filmed in places other than Japan have Japanese subtitles. Also, some of the English movies have English subtitles in addition to Japanese ones, which always helps me to better understand English. When I can't understand the spoken words, there is no way to know what the actors and actresses are saying. Hence, I wish all the English movies had English subtitles.Does ''English movies'' mean movies which actors and actresses speak English in?
Or does it only mean movies filmed in England.
(I'm pretty sure English movies refer to movies where English is the main spoken language!) :)

Well done! I changed some of your phrases to make it sound more natural.
And "English movies" refers to any movie where the original actors spoke in English :) British movies are those made by British film directors, usually, but not always, filmed in England.

Satoshi, I try to do the same thing.
Here's my strategy: if there's a movie or テレビドラマ that I want to spend a lot of time watching (a couple times). Then I try to find a digital copy (like an .mp4 or .avi or .mkv) with a separate Japanese subtitle file (.srt file). I convert the .srt file into a document so that I can study the lines.
"English movies" is ambiguous. When an American says "I like watching English films" it means they like British films. I would say "English-language movies" for everything, and then if you are being specific, say "American movies" "Australian movies" "British movies" etc.
