I am ALMOST at the point of giving up with subtitled movies but I still have my "master list" of recommended films that includes non-American films.
Here is what I am doing. In the Spring I went to IMBD and created a list of every movie in a decade with a 6.0 user rating or higher and a certain number of minimum votes (to avoid really rare movies that I would probably not be able to find). I started with the 1920's and moved up through the decades. Each decade has a list of about 500-700 films. I should be finishing the 1950's by the end of July and moving onto the 1960's. If a non-American film is on the list I watch it. If ANY film is on the list I watch it, this forces me to watch genres I don't usually gravitate to and forces me to grow. My only exceptions are Jerry Lewis and Bob Hope since I found their movies unbearable.
