"In Bruges" A British dark comedy.

[Kaleva]

An interesting and amusing film and there is one scene in the bell tower which, to me, was gut busting funny.

A problem for me with British flicks is that I'm somewhat hard of hearing and there are stretches where I cannot understand, because of the accent, what is being said.

Edit: This is available on Netflix.

1. Yes it is very funny. Also the people in the UN that I worked with who were from Belgium

all could have been from Bruges which made it doubly funny for me.

2. Subtitles may be available

I have the same problem with some British shows.

I use Apple TV to stream. By pressing and holding the center button on the remote, it brings up a menu that allows you to select subtitles. I don't have any experience with Roku.

3. Was just in Netflix chat. Sadly, my bluray player doesn't support subtitles.

Going to have to make sure my next player does before purchasing!

4. I really like this movie and recommend it as well.

I'm not hard of hearing and I have trouble with British movies at times.

And I'm married to a Brit, lol!

7. Watched a British ganster movie where the cokney accent was spoken by some characters

I might as well have been totally deaf for most of the movie.

11. Back when I had both disks and streaming, I started to watch the Red Riding

trilogy on streaming. At that time there were no subtitles on streaming, and I was lost, due to the THICK Yorkshire accents. I quickly ordered the disks for the second and third episodes.

But now my Roku 3 shows subtitles if there are any.

6. Just watched it...hilarious!

A little slow to come together, but it ties up neatly.

8. Ralph Fiennes and the tower attendant? (SPOILERS!)

This thread made me pop in the DVD to re-watch it.

Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson manage to be sympathetic characters, and Colin and Ralph Fiennes are hilarious. And Ralph as menacing as ever. I wanted to hop on a plane and visit -- the %*$&* cobblestones!, the %&$*&! swans! And Brendan Gleeson climbing the stairs to "Raglan Road"? Phew, rough.

[Kaleva]

12. Yep! That's it!

13. The look on Gleeson's face...

as he walks away is priceless.

"The tower... is closed... this evening! Understand? English man!"

9. I love this movie

I own the DVD and I can't count how many times I've watched it. Laugh out loud every time. As for the dialogue, most of it is the F word and they say that very clearly and often.

It probably will be better the 2nd time, being you'll have a better idea what is going on.

10. I was a little disappointed by it

I heard good things about it but found it okay.

14. I really enjoyed it

Check out Burke & Hare - black comedy set in Edinburgh

15. If you watch Netflix on your computer

you will have the option of closed captioning if available for that show. I'm a little hearing impaired and so I routinely watch Netflix this way. I also use headphones to listen which makes a big difference.
