Subtitles, for those who do not know, are lines of printed text on the screen that are direct representations of spoken or signed text in a programme.

Why Subtitles?

Most of us do have a fair share of movies from VCDs and other formats with us. Sometimes, the dialogues in certain movies may be heavily accented that may prevent us from understanding them properly. In other cases, people who do not understand the language of the film need subtitles for the translation.

In these cases, the use of subtitles becomes essential in order to understand the movie better. So here I am putting up a list of 8 sites offering free download of subtitles for various movies.

1. OpenSubtitles

This site, by far has the cleanest interface and has easy to find subtitles. The subtitles are neatly organised. Also, on registering you can search for subtitles in different languages and also receive RSS updates on new subtitles.

2. Subscene

Subscene is one site, which is my personal favorite because of the simple fact I find almost all subtitles I want here. It has quite a few data about the subtitle files and is a no-nonsense site, meaning it has the essentials and nothing fancy.

3. Subtitles.images.02.cz

This site has probably, the biggest database of all the subtitle sites I mentioned, but also the most cluttered and disorganized one. Searching here is a hassle and finding one you want is a bigger hassle. But undoubtedly, it will have what you are looking for.

4. Subtitle Database

Subtitle database also has a wide range of subtitles available numbering around 100,000 and the search and find process is pretty simple. You are also easily able to find the subtitle of your requirements by simply scanning through the results.

5. DivX Subtitles

DivX Subtitles requires a compulsory registration and login before downloading any files. The files are listed with all the necessary characteristics and there is a substantial amount of subtitles available in a variety of languages

6. Subtitles Box

Of all the sites, this has been the most disappointing atleast in my opinion since most movies listed do not have a subtitle. I wonder what the point is, listing only the names of the movies. The search feature is no good as well. Also, a login is required to download the files.

7. 7Nights

As much as I despise the gaudy interface of the site coupled with the terrible navigation, I should appreciate the quantity of the subs available here. The database is pretty good with all the necessary details for you to download your subtitles without problems.

8. AnySubs

Anysubs I assume, is a relatively new and less frequented service and hence the number of subtitles available here is quite less compared to the other sites. But if you do run out of options, you always would have something to rely on.

I hope you enjoyed the post. Do leave your comments about the post and about the sites in general. If you have found this post useful, do share it
