Anyone who has tried to learn a foreign language knows the difficulties of reading a book or watching a movie in the original language. Sometimes you just want to switch to Russian voice acting, relax and enjoy the picture.

But the original is always better, and poetry, as you know, is not translated. These 10 films are worth watching in English, even for those who are not strong in the language. After all, this is the only way to convey the elusive character and witty dialogues of classic films, laid down by the authors.

The author of the novel and professor of linguistics Anthony Burgess invented a special language for the book, introducing Russian words into English slang — the output turned out to be funny designations like oddy knocky ("lonely") and droogs ("friends").

For this reason, watching "A Clockwork Orange" is quite fun, although not the easiest way to start watching movies in the original. But it is obvious that the exotic dialect of the film simply does not lend itself to full dubbing — at least for this reason it is already worth trying to watch the film in English.

The film is suitable for the selection at least because of the title. The main characters-Americans, played by Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson, arrive in Tokyo to do their own business. Murray's character is in a sense playing himself-he is a successful actor who came to Tokyo to shoot a whiskey commercial. The character Johansson accompanies her husband on a business trip. 

They are both missing something, they are going through an emotional crisis and crave understanding and spiritual connection, together they go to eateries and karaoke in a huge city. At the same time, dialogues will not force you to go into the dictionary every minute, because the phrases are used simply, and the meaning is clear from the context.

The dialogues in this film, full of jokes and intellectual jokes, are better heard and understood in the original. 

The film, because of which many disliked the character of Jesse Eisenberg-the creator of "Facebook" Mark Zuckerberg, plunges the viewer into the world of obsession with the case and shows at the same time not the best sides of success. A truly exciting and very realistic story of one of the main success stories of our time.

Charming simpleton Forrest Gump, played by Tom Hanks, will make you cry, but will not make you go for a dictionary — because due to his mental abilities, the dialogues with the character are extremely simple, but no less touching.

The reward for your diligence in English is all the important historical events that took place in America in the second half of the XX century, packed in 2.5 hours of film. Including an unusual interview with John Lennon, which he "conducted" side by side with the main character of the film 14 years after his death.

Irvine Welsh's novels about the Scottish underground and for connoisseurs of English are not easy reading. The characters in the film speak with such an accent that the words you understand make you laugh, and 90 percent of the rest of the dialogue makes you feel like you've never learned English. Don't worry, you just never learned it in Scotland.

In no other colloquial accent do obscenities sound so variegated as in sharp-edged Scottish. As soon as you get involved — you will not stop enjoying listening. Here you can also put a recommendation to watch "Dirt" — another film adaptation of Welsh starring James McAvoy, with his native Scottish accent.

The cult dialogues of "Pulp Fiction", presumably, were heard by more people than watched the film itself. 

Nothing will change your idea of hired gangsters (and the English mat) more than Samuel Jackson swearing at debtors and eating his biblical instructions with a cheeseburger taken from one of the poor devils.

Listen to how Marlon Brando mumbles in his timbre, you can only in the original performance, any attempts at dubbing it is better to postpone. 

The phrases in the film are sometimes not the simplest, but from the context of what is happening, everything is clear — the entertaining and scandalous psychological drama of Tennessee Williams set a template for adult themes in Hollywood, which is still used to this day.

If you want to understand English humor, love it or hate it, then you should watch this magnificent, cult in narrow circles comedy about two bohemian alcoholics whose life consists of visiting pubs and whose veins must have been running ale for a long time.

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything" — anarchic, elegantly written in Palahniuk's "muscular" handwriting, idioms are so convincingly and clearly conveyed in the film that they are worth hearing in the original voice-over.

Immerse yourself in the paranoid mind of the main character and let off steam from work-the main thing is to keep track of the plot and not be distracted by the dictionary, although the semantic turns in the film are not always obvious, so it's worth keeping a balance here.

The word "fuck" sounds in this picture 506 times — a record for feature films. The tricks of the main character, and most importantly-the dashing atmosphere in the offices where people were bred for money, are fully conveyed by the lexical set of the script. Perhaps this is how Scorsese wanted to express his personal ethical assessment of the story and its real hero-Jordan Belfort.

By the way, surprisingly, the character of DiCaprio came out much more interesting and eloquent than the real culprit of the story. It is unlikely that Belfort will be able to sell you a ballpoint pen, but an actor of the caliber of DiCaprio managed to portray the character on camera much more convincingly.
