Watching movies I already know well, dubbed in French with Hebrew subtitles.

Now where can I find more of that, other than on a plane on an international flight?

P.S. French for "Bilbo Baggins of Bag End" is "Bilbo Sacquet de Cul-de-Sac" ... and apparently Tolkien named it "Bag End" in the first place to pun on the use of the French "cul de sac" in English.

I remember reading the Tolkien took a keen interest in preserving as many Hobbitty puns as possible in all the languages his books were translated into. Which is not at all surprising given his background.
