A list of movies in English that requires Foreign Part Only subtitles

I'm trying to compile a list of all movies that require keeping one of the subtitle tracks for foreign language parts (aka FPO) in the movie.  Just thought this might be useful as we all rip our DVDs/Blu-Rays and put them on our Plex servers.  If anyone can add to this woefully short list, please do.  Most of these I discovered only after I started watching the rips and realized I forgot the subs, so hopefully we can build a list so we can all avoid wasting time like that in the future.  I'll add to this as people post additions.  Thanks!

 

A Good Day To Die Hard

Angels And Demons

Argo

Avatar (doesn't really count because FPO is hard-coded, but added here to make the list complete)

Babel

Iron Man

Red Heat

Taken

Taken 2

The Bourne Identity

The Eye

The Godfather Part II

The Human Centipede
The Wolverine

I could put a lot more, but English dialog was specified.

It's a spreadsheet of movies with Forced subtitles. Not my creation, I just stumbled across it one day.

Yay! That seems to work...

Edit: Removed broken link and related text, tinyurl works.

I just wanna take the time to thank you for this find. 

I had started to get pretty sick of starting to watch films with occasional foreigh dialogue and no subs. Now i can finally work through my collection!! :)

Is there a place to download your missing subs to fill in your movies?

Awesome sheet...it looks like it is being updated...is this true....nice work...

This should be a pinned thread and I’m surprised that this has not been more active

There are several lists (including this one) of movies that require forced subtitles here:

http://wiki.robotz.com/index.php/Forced_Subtitles

I wish there was a corresponding set of links to where the forced subtitles can be downloaded. I have several forced subtitle .srt files I could add/upload to the database if one existed. I was even so frustrated with their lack of existance that I created my first forced .srt file for Argo! :wink:

Is there a simpler way to identify those forced subtitle tracks or is it a process by elimination?

Although it is very appreciative that people are posting lists of what films have forced subtitles. But does anyone have an idea where to actually download forced subtitles?
I am finding it extremely difficult finding any, even on www.opensubtitles.org I have also found that the Plex settings for subtitles “Shown with foreign audio” is useless. You can either have subtitles on all the way through or not at all. It would also help if Open Subtitles helped us a little by giving us the subtitle file size as I have found that forced subtitles are usually under 10KB a file.

Does anyone know where to download forced subtitles with a little more ease? Will Plex fix its issue with “Shown with foreign audio” being obsolete?

Subscene allows filtering by Forced Only
