Any true cinema fan prefers the subtitled version of a film to the
dubbed version and cannot abide the forcing of another speaker's voice
over an actor's lips.  You lose all the nuances of the pronunciation.

At least that is what I keep telling myself to convince myself that I
like movies but am not stodgy enough to be a fan of cinema.  My
preference is for dubbing because the increased bandwidth allows more
story to be transmitted and story is what I watch a film for, not
nuances of voice.  I liked the subtitled version of Z but completely
missed important points that I was able to get out of the dubbed
version.  I will soon be trying the dubbed version of DAS BOOT to see
if I like it better or as much as the subtitled.
