So, it seems the CGVs have stopped showing English subtitles with Korean movies. I was looking forward to seeing 고지전 (the Front line)... anyone have any info about the CGVs bringing back subtitles?

I just went to a CGV to see that same film. It was after I bought the ticket and waited for hours before I was told that there were no subtitles.

So, I saw it regardless and it was still worthwhile. If you can find it with subtitles, then by all means... but if not, not understanding a single word will still make it better than "Transformers" and "Harry Potter" combined.

Cheers, Dejavu, I might give it a shot without subtitles based on your recommendation.

Still, I wonder if they will ever bring back English subtitles for big Korean movies, the way it used to be...

Well considering you and that other dude were the only ones paying for that, it makes perfect sense for them to remove it.

Is there a way one can watch Korean movies with subtitles at home? What if I bought a DVD and wanted to watch it on my computer. Is there an option to watch the movies with English subtitles? I would have gone to see Korean movies if I had known they had English subtitles. Had they informed us foreigners, more of us would have gone.

When you watch movies on your computer, you can usually download the subtitles. Google search the name of your movie + subtitles. The file you want to download ends with ".SRT". Also, you can google search for the movie name + .SRT.

Do the Korean movies EVER have English subtitiles anymore?

2 films in particular that I'd like to see are Hindsight and Painted. I see the posters all over the place and have looked them up on the net.

Would to see these 2 films on the big screen.
