I am a very good American boy.

I was watching Evolution (2016), a spooky French horror film with little dialogue. It occurred to me it would be probably just as creepy and weird if I didn't have English subtitles on. So I want to do an experiment:

What non-English film should I watch without subtitles?

My favorite genres are horror, thrillers, sci fi, weird movies, and action films. My goal is to find a film I enjoy and am engaged with despite not understanding the dialogue. Any recommendations?

There's a lot of talking in Amelie but it's very musical and you miss a lot of the visual rhythm if you're looking at the bottom of the screen the whole time.

I've seen it, but you're totally right that somehow the whimsy and emotion would come across just fine without subtitles.

You probably wouldn't lose anything watching Защитники without subtitles, but it doesn't come out until February.

Mr. Hulot's Holiday works fine without subtitles, as does Playtime.

I watched Come and See without subtitles because of technical issues and I feel like it made that movie much more intense.
