Paris English Forums

Hello everyone,

my problem is the following : I'm looking for some DVDs to buy (for a gift) and I would like some DVDs with English subtitles. (most of the DVDs I have in mind are not English-speaking movies, some of them are French movies)
I have looked on Amazon several times, but most of the time the information about subtitles is curiously not given.
Does anyone know a shop in Paris where I would be sure to find English-speaking or subtitled (mostly subtitled) DVDs??
Thanks a lot.

PS : actually I'm French, and I want to make a gift for some non French-speaking friends. It turns out to be more difficult than I had thought at the beginning!

Hi Cath! Do you need a specific movie that is difficult to find in English?
Or is it just any movie?

try Amazon.co.uk they should have most of the movies in English with English subtitles. DVDs should have several languages as a rule.

ebay.co.uk is a place where you can find anything you want.

telebid.com is a good way to make shopping, but its system is a bit complicated, although you might get stuff at a big discount

any bittorrent webpage will offer you free DVD movies, so don't worry about purchasing them.

You must not support pirated DVD’s. Respect the actors and the director's team and purchase one on-line, because in regular shops they are expensive.

do you personally always buy licensed DVDs? I doubt!

Mixi is right. We should protect the authors any time possible.
