That's the main reason why I'm now renting them on DVD. Most of them are now captioned/subtitled. That's what I'm doing right now for the old Doctor Who series. (I'm currently on the First Doctor.)

I also recently watched 12 Angry Men (with Henry Fonda) subtitled.
I saw a lot of movies without captions when I was a kid. I didn't get my own closed captioning decoder until I was 14 or 15 years old. Yet, there were still a lot of movies out that that still didn't have captioning included. I also saw a lot of movies in theaters with my family (before they started doing open captioning).
Now, I'm slowly catching up on classics with subtitles/captions.
You were born during the next decade... so you had easy access to things that weren't as easy for me. Lucky you!

They did have captioning decoders that I could get earlier, but they were bigger and more costly.

(This thing was HUGE and HEAVY.)
My parents were able to borrow one from a teacher in elementary school for a bit before returning it and then buying our own decoder.

We had quite a few interesting experiences with this before they started including captioning in television a decade later.
That's a good movie.
