Movies or shows that "switch" the language to english for our benefit?


I noticed a couple of movies/shows have switched languages to english for english speaking audiences. In the movie The Hunt for Red October the Russian changes to english with the assumption that the submarine crew is still speaking russian but we the audience are hearing it in english.
Same for the movie Valkyrie with german to english. There is also an episode of Lost set in the past on the island where the women there speak another language before it magically switched to english so we can understand.
That got me wondering what other movies or shows have done this. Was the hunt for red october the first? Anyone know any others? Danke!
