In the meantime I bought stuff like Italian movies, sound in Italian, and even Italian subtitles, rather than settle for the German-dubbed version. But that also means I cannot show the film to people who are used to seeing it in German, and maybe do not understand enough English to enjoy it, and the VHS tapes also had no subtitles, unlike DVDs and up.Īnyway, I think that I've seen more Bond movies in the original version only than I had watched dubbed in German before, due to the fact that I saw many on VHS purchased in Britain or DVDs later on for the first time, since the 90s. OK, I could (and did) buy VHS tapes from England before that. But I really only started having a chance when DVDs came up, as regards buying them from German sources. Still, I prefer seeing the original version.

No, German dubbing is better, and maybe an art in itself. I remember with revulsion seeing American-dubbed Godzilla movies while I was an exchange student in Illinois (1974/75). Once you decide you wish for dubbing in the first place, it's probably excellent. Now I do not intend to bash German dubbing. But then, of course since the advent of DVD and later Blu-ray things have changed a bit anyway. It's been a relatively recent development for Germans to be able to see movies in their original language in theatres, and only in very few, probably no more than one in each major city, if at all. We do have dubbing, basically for everything.
