I much prefer films to be left in their native tounge (could never spell that word!)
Example: Das Boot, Wolfgang Petersons wonderful WW2 U-boat film, is much, much better with the actors speaking German. I don't mind English subtitles at all.
In the Dubbed version, the U-boat Captain looks and sounds ridiculous yelling out:...." Fire torpedo one!!"...When correctly he would yell out: "Los!!"
I also prefer Werner Herzogs films "un-dubbed".
Just my 2 cents

In the dubbed version of DB . . . - mr grits 08:18:34 02/07/05 (1)
My favorite character, the little mischevious lieutenant, sounds like the intentionally worst, high-pitched, high school nerd on earth. Why they do characterizations like that is beyond me . . . subtitles are the only way to go with foreign film.

  ...have you seen a really well dubbed film?
  Voice in not the only part of acting. And when you read subs you always miss some other kinds - facial, etc.
  Good dub allows you to concentrate on actor's acting, and that is its main attractiveness. So I shall not agree the subs in the best, or even the only, way to go.
