Originals with subtitles, obviously. One caveat being that some animated films have good English dubs, and in those cases the dubbing works fine for me.

Jeremy1983 · 12-18-2009, 06:03 PM

Please, nobody say dubbed

I won't watch a dubbed movie.

The fourth option of the poll is great

Secretagentnumber6 · 12-18-2009, 06:05 PM

Who voted dubbed? Please tell me that is a joke.

Agreed. It's baffling that anybody picked dubbed.

assydingo · 12-18-2009, 06:47 PM

Besides a select few animes (most I cannot stand dubbed) I always prefer original audio with subtitles.

Rblu-Dblu · 12-18-2009, 06:50 PM

Voted for original language with subtitles. Dubbing is horrible. It's good for a laugh though if you've been drinking.

Dieselboy · 12-18-2009, 07:19 PM

Dubbed is great for laughs....like the older Godzilla movies or an old kung fu movie when their mouths keep moving for a about a minute after the voice of the 'dubber' stops!

I agree completely. If you don't understand the native language of the film, put the subtitles on. There is never a need for dubbing. I want to find out who actually voted for dubbing, let's sniff them out! I'll get the pitchforks and torches!

Jeremy1983 · 12-18-2009, 09:10 PM

I demand that the 4 of you who voted for "dubbed" to defend your vote. We will be respectful, I promise

Agree 100%. I haven't watched a dubbed foriegn film since the old Black Belt Theater on UHF back in the early 80's. Man those movies were great. Even dubbed.

CZAR · 12-18-2009, 10:57 PM

The best and most classic dubbed movies will always be those karate movies back in the late 70's and early 80's with and without Bruce Lee! Classic! Got Em!!

Do you remember a show in the mid 80's called Mad Movies? They took old movies and dubbed in new dialog. I sort of remember a Shirley Temple one that was hillarious.
