http://www.fomdi.com is also another great website to look up captioned movies in your area.

Great website! Love the subtitles on the trailers! Thank you!!

Yea, but they use fandango, and always shows the message “says there are no captioned movies.” results for Grand Rapids and Lansing, where the theatre I work for shows RWC movies, so technically, it doesn’t work for me, pretending our theatres don’t exist :)
(It’s because our company works with a competitor to Fandango, and Fandango doesn’t display our captioned movies as captioned. Movietickets.com does.)

Another “Up and Coming” site is Deaf Access Films ( http://deafaccessfilms.com ) I am not crazy about the way it works, but you can see what films are playing where on one site.

Subtitles on DVD
http://dvd-subtitles.com , http://hdbonusfeatures.blogspot.com/ , http://bonusfeatures.blogspot.com are good sources for information on subtitled DVD’s.

SWEET! Insight Cinema has a new way to look up Open Caption movie Showtimes!

(for a sample of an area that has Insight Movies, use Schnectady, NY -12345 is the zip)

So many of us deaf and retired folks live in small, out of the way communities, where >nothing< is offerred. We cannot even find a decent interpreter! It seems like the theatres would try harder to show captioned films when we are a community of mostly HOH, older and retired citizens.

About the only solustion for us is to join Netflix or some such, but that is not a perfect solution, either!

Get a big screen tv, and host your own captioned movie parties!

No signing during the feature presentation though!)

That solution means that I would have to break my neck cleaning house, washing windows, etc. And what about the refreshments?

Since the big screen t.v. would be for a hearing impaired group, perhaps I could deduct the cost from my income tax?! Hee, hee.

Thanks, anyway.

I know my area theatre shows open caption but always limit time and titles. I prefer watch movies or programs from websites, which I miss to watch on TV, It is NO CLOSED CAPTIONED. ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX and other networks do not put closed caption back in what we use to watch CC on TV. Let shout the legislation to mandate all networks in website must provide CLOSED CAPTION (CC).
