Not me! I love movies from all corners of the world. In fact, a goal of mine is to see at least one film from each nation.

No love for The Fisher King? Bummer. I thought it was a damn fine movie.

Well its not the reading part that is the issue. Its the fact you have to focus your vision to the lower part of the screen for a large portion of the movie, and normally this is the least interesting part of the scene. If you risk it and start looking at the center, you may miss the dialog and find your self skimming it to read it before it disappears from the screen.
The amount of subtitles on GoT is really a small percentage.

My wife refuses to watch anything with subtitles because she is simply a slow reader. They come up on the screen and she might get halfway through before it disappears. I'm a pretty fast reader and even I miss some of the words sometimes.
Plus as mentioned above, you miss out on actually watching the movie if you are staring at the bottom of the screen the entire time.
Hearts are tough, she said, most times hearts don't break, and I'm sure that's right . . . but what about then? What about who we were then? What about hearts in Atlantis?
My boyfriend has that same issue. I've gotten him to watch some subtitled movies but most of the time I can't let him know it's a foreign film or he won't want to watch it.
I'm the exact opposite though. I love foreign movies, and maybe it's because I've watched a bunch, but subtitles have never inhibited my viewing. I can read what's written and I can still watch everything that's going on in the picture.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'm just like Heather, been watching foreign films since the '90s so it's not an issue for me at all. If you disregard foreign films as a whole based on subtitles, you would be missing out on so many great films. Sure Hollywood makes great films, but world cinema is larger than that and I couldn't live with just English-language movies.
Yeah, I understand what some of the others are saying, but like most things, I think you have to get used to it. The more subtitled films you watch, the more you get used to reading and taking in the visuals of the scene. It takes some practice for sure.
I will take it a step further, I watch all my Netflix shows with subtitles on regardless.
