Small Change (French) Next: Films primarily in English, but with a significant portion of the dialogue in a language other than English: 1. The Godfather Part II (Italian) Just to explain a little more, we’re looking for something other than a character saying “Buenas dias” or trying to correctly pronounce the offerings on a French menu, before all characters switch to English. WWII movies might provide good sources, for example, as would movies that are subtitled when necessary, but not all through the movie. ---
