Spirited Away
The Good the Bad and the Ugly
After watching it a few times, I really don't like Kirsten Dunst's job with Kiki and Phil Hartman (while pretty funny) almost ruins the intent of the movie. I much prefer the subbed version. Spirited Away was handled much better, IMO.

Most Italian movies from the 60's (or later) don't suffer much from dubbing, because the Italian's dubbed all the dialogue in later, anyway.

The dubbed version of the Killer, while really bad, is hilarious... it has even been sampled numerous times by the Wu Tang Clan and some other rap artists/groups.
Oh, and a little off topic, but the worst dub IMHO is Run Lola Run.

Better Dubs:
- Ones supervised by the director (probably the only dubs I'd listen too... and even then, I might as well watch the original anyways)
- Ones with an accurate translation.
- Ones where the actors try to sound like how the original characters are supposed to be.
- Ones that have the original actors translating (I'm sure some Jackie Chan films from Hong Kong have been dubbed in English, using Jackie Chan...)
Overall though, I know that I'd hate if someone took my work, changed it to make it "better", but still thought of it as the original work. It's not... it's altered. So I don't watch dubbed movies, even if the actors in the dub are better or the story is made more clear. That's like replacing Jim Carrey in Ace Ventura with Alec Guiness... maybe he's a better actor, but the movie is now different.
