DVD Subtitles/Foreign Languages

I just wanted to air my annoyance and DVDs that contain foreign language sections, e.g. Once Upon a Time in Mexico (with a lot of Spanish), its not the foreign language that’s the problem it’s the fact that to get the English subtitles for the Spanish bits you have to turn on the subtitles the only problem is that you then get English subtitles for the English bits which personally gets on my nerves, maybe I’m just being silly but I don’t want it, i've noticed this in a few DVDs.

...My problem is that in DVDs produced by French networks, you are sometimes obliged to get the subtitles if you want to see it in the original language (english, for example) GRRR...

And yes, I've also noticed that Jamief90

I noticed that on a few disks when I lived in Germany, when watching with the English soundtrack the German subtitles couldn't be turned off.

In films such as OUATIM its not so bad becasue i'd say 50% at least was in Spanish anyway but in other films where there is only a small amount of foreign dialogue you either have to think, 'hang on there might be subtitles for that' and either switch them on and rewind or guess what they were on about.
