Question

Answer 1

Most foreign movies in Germany are shown in their original verison with subtitles.  They are not that often dubbed.  You should ask in the theatre where it is shown.  Sometimes the advertisements in the paper tell whether it is dubbed or original.  You will not have a problem if you are in/near a larger city like Berlin, Munich, Bonn, Frankfurt, etc.

Answer 2

In berlin you can see original version movies at the Sony Center at the S-bahn station Potsdamer Platz.  It is a cinestar theater and you can check the times at cinestar.de

Answer 3

Here in Germany you have to read the theater listings very carefully to find the original English language showings of films. Just about any theater MAY show the English language version of a film here...and maybe only once! Of course you will have the best luck in larger cities like Berlin, Frankfurt or Munich or in college towns or naturally on US Army bases, if you have access to them. Also the German-American center in larger cities like Munich often show English-language films. Not all synchronised/dubbed films have subtitles.

Answer 4

no chance, sry! everything's german here. maybe you could contact AFN for tv if you're in one place.?

Answer 5

http://www.broadwaykino.com/

don't 4get to select the language option b4 u start exploring the site. the theater is located next to ramstein/germany in a small town called landstuhl.

this is the only on i know of for sure( since it's in the area i'm living in)

but if u in an area in germany with a large number of US military personal stationed in that area , there will b movie theaters/kinos  in original ton.

hope this helps

Answer 6

In Wurzburg there is a thater that plays OV movies.  I am sure there are others.  The website for the one in Wurzburg is www.cineworld-main.de.    You can only see schedules about a week out though.

Answer 7

If you look at a cinema schedule, you should look for films marked OV for "Originalversion" or OmU for "Original mit Untertiteln", i.e. subtitled. You can get cinema schedules for almost any town in Germany at cinema.de.

In the Netherlands, dubbing is far less frequent than in Germany,  so your chances may be best there.

Answer 8

Most of the larger cities will have a theater or two that plays original English-language movies in English, without German subtitles.  There's one that I used to go to all the time in Frankfurt; it was a Cinestar theater called "Cinestar Turmpalast" (you can even look up showtimes and what movies are playing at that theater by going to the Cinestar.de website, looking up Frankfurt, and finding the theater under that name).  It's a block away from the Hauptwache trainstop in the center of the city, up Eschenheimer Strasse, across the street from the Eschenheimer Tower and the Subway sandwich shop (the theater itself is in a building that has a large sign saying "Detective Tudor" on the side).  A little bit of research should show you what other large cities have an English-language theater; not only Cinestar theaters, but others as well.
