Definitely on for the wifey's Korean movies.  Also hard to understand British films  like Lock, Stock & 2 Smoking Barrels and Trainspotting...

Pag Hollywood flicks na puro buntalan and barilan....pwede ng hindi  ;D

On - for better understanding the lines. Just like in Harry Potter movies (since i did not read the book).
Off - kung alam ko na ang mga usapan.

Its ok lng naman kung i-turn on mo ang subtitle mas mainam maintindihan mo ang pinapanood mo, lalo na pag di ka bihasa sa pag-sasalita at pakikinig ng wikang ingles, big trouble iyan sa panonood. And also some scenes they whisper thru their dialogues naku nalintikan na mas-lalo ng di mo ma-gets ang sinasab-sab nung tao. Kaya malaking tulong talaga ang subtitles mas naiintindihan ko na ang pinatutunguhan ng kuwento.  Kaya ung mga movies na napanood ko sa sinihan dati, na di ko magets masyado mas nalalaman ko na ang dahilan.  Tulad ng almost famous kung papansinin mo parang boring kc puro salita lng, nung pinanood ko ng may subtitle turned on, pre ang ganda din pala ng flow ng story o dahil lng kay Kate Hudson ang ganda kc nyang ngumite haaay.

Subtitles on. That's something that VCDs don't have, aside from audio-video quality. ;D

I agree with you, some actors eat their words. Some speak like they're whispering (Steven Seagal), some can't speak fluently English because they have different native language accent (Jackie Chan). Subtitles make me understand what they're saying.

I also turn the subtitles on on Chinese and Korean movies.

Generally OFF unless I don't understand a linet that was uttered. So I play it back then turn the subtitles on.

But some English-language films sometimes need to have the subtitles on such as Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (coz they were speaking a dialect) and The Ratcatcher (coz it was a dialect too). 
To the table or to bed, you must come when you are bid.

Sometimes on, sometimes off. Pag on kasi, nakaconcentrate yung eyes mo sa pag-basa ng subtitles rather than on the movie itself.

It depends on the accent of the characters, the movie itself and language of course.
American OFF, English/European ON, Others ON
If the plot has a lot of twists and turns...ON
Hard to figure out movies...ON for the first time.
Learn the technology but also learn to trust your ears and eyes...and enjoy the journey.

Off: Kapag ako lang mag isa nanonood at malakas volume, for me kasi nawawala focus ko sa movie, minsan di mo na sya maappreciate kasi focused ka sa subs pag; nagflash back ka about the movie e parang blur hehehe ;D

On: Kapag di english or tagalog, saka lalo na pag nasa room at tulog na si esmi, dun lang ako naggamit ng subs :D

Usually, I prefer not to have subtitles when watching a movie.

If ever, I will be watching the movie the second time around, that is the time that I will enable the subtitle

But in rare instances, while watching stallone's films, I always enable the subtitle on function (hirap kasi intindihin ng dialogue ni stallone)

mas nakakatawa ang hentai kapag may subs...hehe

Japanese (cultural) lesson for today...iba ang "level" ng "ih ih" at "oh oh", in case natatawa/nagtataka kayo kung bakit "ih" ang dialogue.

back to topic, my wife can expertly synch to milliseconds kahit MINUTES ang layo ng subs and dialogue.  hehe

mabuhay!

If i am the only person who is watching a movie definitely, i turn the subtitle off. Nilalakasan ko talaga yung volume para marinig ko.

Kaso.....lagi kong kasama ang uncle kong 70+ years old and almost bingi na......kaya kailangan kong i-on.

Pero kapag yung mga luma kong VCD collection pinapanood ko...definitely nilalakasan ko..hehehehhehe
