I often watch the films in English, but here is the catch:

I often watch DVDs with family or friends, and those need to watch it in
Spanish, so watching it in English is not an option.

Some DVDs (not many, but some) come with only an audio track, so you cannot
select language.

Many times, the Spanish dubbing is supperior to original voices and it sucks to
ditch it out in order to have a consistent experience.

Then there are Australian films and the like, which are not in English, no
matter the falsehoods they spread. Australian is to English what Mexican is to
Spanish!
