... There is an entire list of films that were non-english. But because the English language area has an overall problem reading subtitles, there is this idea that all of them have to be put into English. And the remakes don't come out that great honestly :| . There are a few exceptions. Like:

Män som hatar kvinnor [i](original Swedish movie - remake: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo)[/i]

Which I think wasn't that bad. But I still prefer the original.
