I can highly recommend the Swedish 'Millenium' trilogy ' 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' and 'The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest'. They're all really well dubbed if you prefer that to subtitles.
...
Me check them out!
There are some foreign films, where subtitles are ... almost un-necessary. Akira Kurosawa was highly aware of the situation with his films ... so if you ever see "The Seven Samurai", you won't miss a whole lot, by not reading the subtitles! The quiet and silence is built into the film, and is one of its greatest achievements!
Few others were as aware of this, and if you watch Ingmar Bergman, you will lose the interest in the first 15 minutes ... it is almost all about the acting and the talking. But the "visual" directors, understand this, and it is worth checking.
A good start is "Visions of Light", the film about cinematographers, and some of the films they did, and in there you learn more about film, than you ever imagined! It's an amazing documentary, that kinda leads you to check out some directors and how they did things, or still do.
