    Brought some dvds (of popular current movies) back from a trip to S.America with the option of switching both audio & subtitles from/to English/Spanish.

    I have been watching these and they are a help in learning the language. Is there anywhere anyone can recommend where all the dvds are in dual language? All the most promenent online retailers I have checked don't have this option.

    Your best chance is to check World Cinema sections in the major shops. Films from Latin American countries/ Spain would be there, but others can be but usually not, if you get me?

    Instituto Cervantes have a library of DVDS, and I think you can rent them if you apply for permission to do so and pay a fee. I think the place is closed for the summer.

    If you have access to a college library, you can get your hands on quite a few of them. Alternatively, I've bought absolutely loads of Spanish language DVDs on Amazon.co.uk. I'm runing out of shelf-space and the max I would ever spend is £4-£5 including postage. Beats renting cos you get to keep them like. They're all generally subtitled rather than dubbed though. Have you seen Como agua para chocolate?

    Thanks folks. Theres a movie on Film4 tonight in Spanish with english subs so I will get max. value out of that, rerunning it.
    Really could have got this sorted on my recent S.America trip had I known I was going to make an effort with the language afterwards. I picked up some dvds @ 60 cents each - a couple of them are dubbed in Spanish with english subs.

    No, haven't seen it Dennis but I take it, thats a recommendation?
    Have searched amazon but can't seem to turn up all too many with spanish audio/english subs - and certainly not for the price you mentioned. Can you list a couple of movie titles of the ones you sourced off amazon? Thanks.
