It depends a bit. Blockbusters are dubbed, generally. Also everything=20
in TV. Most other movies, too. Foreign language scences are often left=20
untouched. And then there are arthouse cinemas, showing movies "OmU",=20
that means "Original with subtitles" (or if it is English, maybe even=20
"OV", orginal version). So if you want to see un-dubbed movies in=20
Germany, you're only choices will be execellent movies ;-)
