My wife loves videos; rents them almost daily. Our local French video shop has thousands of English-language tapes. Regrettably, they mainly focus of pop movies of the last 10 years ("new releases" is the biggest section). But their oldies selection almost rivals a typical Blockbuster. The plus is that there is a very good selection of British, Irish and Awstrine movies. It is a treat to rent sets of "Yes Miniser" - probably the funniest TV series ever.

Another plus is that we get plenty of french movies subtitled in english.

And, to more directly answer your question - yes, we get tons of movies from around the world subtitled in english. This is the best selection of all, IMHO, and is much better than in the US. But we are in the Geneva 'burbs, where 25% of the population comes from another country.
