I will say that a lot of foreign movies seem dumb till you watch till the end and finally get it. Especially Asian comedies. Most have a moral and love connection.
Apocalypto was an interesting one to watch. It was in some extinct Mayan dialect. I ended up watching it three times. The first time I read the subtitles thoroughly to comprehend the action. The second time I focused on the cinematography. The third time I played it with the director's commentary.
^And City of God has a great Brazilian-Funk soundtrack!
I'm good with doing a bit of reading during a movie.
Right now, I'm watching The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1923) with Lon Chaney. Silent film, so there's reading involved in this one (though you don't miss the action).

Kung Fu movies are best with subtitles, although sometimes the translations on the more low budget ones don't make any sense.

I enjoy all sorts of foreign Films with subtitles, but also enjoy switching on the Spanish or French subtitles during English-language movies.

The subtitled version of La Cage Aux Folle was a lot better than the dubbed version. But mostly no, I don't want to read a movie.
