    Open Captioned Movie theaters

    As a non-native English speaker, I always like to watch movies with caption, even though I could get most part without caption. I don't like handheld closed captioning devices they provide in theaters (I live in LA). That's why I always wait for DVD's/BR's or Netflix watch instantly or Amazon...

    Captioning not available for the old movies - How to watch those?

    I am a fan of Hitchcock and I am watching his earlier films. Some of the older movies (The Shame of Mary Boyle (1929) UK/English; East of Shanghai (1931) UK/English) don't have subtitles or closed captioning. As a non-native English speaker, it was hard for me to follow, as the characters were...

    sound 'Hal 9000' in 2001: A Space Odyssey

    It was in the soundtrack but not in the movie/script. That's what it confused me. Thank you for the clarification. Actually I have the soundtrack in CD. I am looking for the dialogue montage in the script format.

    editing Movies that used Sound to their best

    For my paper, I selected a scene from 'The Conversation' (1974) and 'Eraserhead' (1977) and analyzed sound design. As AudioPostExpert mentioned, it was extremely difficult to identify and explain how the sound augmented the scene. (AudioPostExpert, also thanks for the thread link). In the...

    editing Movies that used Sound to their best

    Thank you everyone for the suggestions. In the 'Forrest Gump' special features DVD, there is a segment where Randy Thom explains in layman terms how he designed the sound for few scenes (ping pong scenes, Vietnam scenes, Gump running scenes). Very helpful.
