I've seen it done in movies where the characters had a strong
regional accent.

There is European TV channel (Euro5?)which was carried on the
cable of the flat in Helsinki we used this summer. The channel is
all-French speaking. But some French movies are shown with French
subtitles(!). The spoken French was hard for me to follow but I
was able to follow the subtitles fairly well.
