I love watching English-subtitled foreign films for many reasons, but specifically, it is a godsend for language acquisition.
I just learned my favorite Bahasa Indonesian insult: goblok! (which means a fool)
I also learned an Indonesian phrase originating from Persia: "buru buru" is borrowed from the Iranian "boroh boroh." (Hurry! vs. go, go!)
[The movie I recently saw was a well-made comedy, Sesua Aplikasi (2018).]
