I think it was just too weird for the american market.

No, the problem was, that the American market doesn't want to read subtitles

Oh .. i was talking about the American remake .. the lack of sensuality that was in the original.

But you are right .. most of the people I know don't really like subtitles but many of then will watch.  I would rather not have subtitles .. if you are busy reading you aren't immersing in the film.  But with out them you miss some good films.

I find that really depends on the film. Dialog heavy films, which s possibly spoken very fast, can be a problem, as you can hardly keep up with the text. Otherwise I find that I can quickly read the text and still catch enough of the performances to be engaged.

Would be also interesting how the original fares when watched later.

Here's the result:
Original is by far better with even more consistency and plausibility in the story. The strange relationship between Oskar and Eli is explained much better, the roles of the supporting actors now actually add something instead of just being extras. Great one!
Had to downgrade my rating of the remake to 2.5/5
Rating for the original: 4/5

I find this true when I go to the opera but not so with films <g> but then it wouldn't be me if i wasn't a bit odd

	A Clockwork Orange Stomping, whomping, stealing, singing, tap-dancing, violating. Derby-topped hooligan Alex (Malcolm McDowell) has a good time – at the tragic expense of others. His journey from amoral punk to brainwashed proper citizen and back again forms the dynamic arc of Stanley Kubrick's future-shock vision of Anthony Burgess' novel. Controversial when first released, A Clockwork Orange won New York Film Critics Best Picture and Director awards and earned four Oscar® nominations,** including Best Picture. Its power still entices, shocks and holds us in its grasp. **Other 1971 Nominations: Best Director (Kubrick), Screenplay Based on Material from Another Medium (Kubrick) and Film Editing (Bill Butler).
	Brave
	Beautiful Creatures Sexy. Witty. On-the-edge Thriller. Beautiful Creatures stars Rachel Weisz (The Mummy series) as Petula and Susan Lynch (Waking Ned Devine) as Dorothy. These two sexy creatures have only one thing in common — rotten taste in men. When Petula and Dorothy cover up the accidental murder of one jerk boyfriend, they hatch a hilarious scheme to collect a huge ransom. It's a perfect plan until a corrupt detective and an old beau want in on the scam. How will this cat-and-mouse game end? Venice Magazine calls Beautiful Creatures "an edgy roller coaster ride!" Three dangerous men. Two beautiful women. These poor guys...don't stand a chance.
	Far From Heaven Julianne Moore (Hannibal, Boogie Nights) and Dennis Quaid (The Rookie, Frequency) star in this seductive story of a seemingly perfect family, and the forbidden desires that threaten to tear them apart. Cathy Whitaker (Moore) has it all-a lovely home, two wonderful children and a handsome husband (Quaid), who is successfully climbing the corporate ladder. But Cathy's idyllic existence is just an illusion, and she is eventually forced to choose between living a lie or following her heart. Academy Award® nominee Moore "is a vision," declared Rex Reed, and he called Quaid's performance “the best of his career,” in this stunning drama hailed by the New York Post as “one of the year’s best.”
	Forgetting Sarah Marshall Peter (Jason Segal) is a struggling musician who finds his world turned upside down when his TV celebrity girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), dumps him for a tragically hip rock star. It's the hysterically funny look at how far one man will go to forget a girl — and all the fun he finds along the way!
	Little Fockers Greg Focker (Ben Stiller) has finally begun to earn the respect of his ex-CIA father-in-law, Jack Byrnes (Robert De Niro) but one important test still lies ahead: will Greg prove that he has what it takes to be the family's next "Godfocker"... or will the circle of trust be broken for good? Returning co-stars Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner, Teri Polo, Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand are joined by newcomers Jessica Alba, Laura Dern and Harvey Keitel in this hysterical family affair.
	V for Vendetta Who is the man who hides his scarred face behind a mask? Hero or madman? Liberator or oppressor? Who is V – and who will join him in his daring plot to destroy the totalitarian regime that dominates his nation? From the creators of The Matrix trilogy comes V For Vendetta, an arresting and uncompromising vision of the future based on the powerfully subversive graphic novel. Natalie Portman stars as Evey, a working-class girl who must determine if her hero has become the very menace he's fighting against. Hugo Weaving plays V – a bold, charismatic freedom fighter driven to exact revenge on those who disfigured him. And Stephen Rea portrays the detective leading a desperate quest to capture V before he ignites a revolution. The stakes rise. The tension electrifies. The action explodes. Whose side are you on? In V's world, there is no middle ground.
	Star Wars IV: A New Hope A LONG TIME AGO IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...The Jedi Knights have been exterminated and the Empire rules the galaxy with an iron fist. A small group of Rebels have dared to fight back by stealing the secret plans for the Empire's mightiest weapon, the Death Star battle station. The Emperor's most trusted servant, Darth Vader, must find the plans, and locate the hidden Rebel base. Princess Leia, a captive Rebel leader, sends out a distress signal that is intercepted by a simple farm boy, Luke Skywalker. Seizing his destiny, Luke takes up the challenge to rescue the princess and help the Rebellion overthrow the Empire, along with such unforgettable allies as the wise Obi-Wan Kenobi, the cocky Han Solo, the loyal Chewbacca, and the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO.

As a second wave of Martian Walkers lay waste to what's left of Earth, an alliance of military forces prepares a daring attack on the Red Planet itself. Once again, the future of Mankind hangs in the balance.
