I, too, do not consider myself a "fan of cinema", however, I must speak
out for subtittling.  In my experience I've must agree that the a subtittled
version gives you only enough dialogue to know what is happening, but
also gives you the *feel* of the actor's voices.  I cannot understand
German, but the intensity of the dialogue in _Das_Boot_ came through
clearly in German speech in the background, which I suspect (perhaps
"assumed" would be more truthful) would be lost in dubbing.

However . . . I must confess that I avoid dubbed films like the plague,
owing to previous encounters.  You're description of _Das_Boot_
intrigues me -- I'll have to rent or attend a dubbed version so I can
make a comparison.  Perhaps they have truly improved dubbing . . .
