Movies in Original Language in Munich

 Our Mission

OV-Munich is a community project that was created for movie enthusiasts and cinefiles who believe that films should be experienced as the creators intended.

We are certain that watching a movie in its original language provides a more authentic and immersive experience, preserving the nuances of the actors' performances and the director's vision.

This website makes it easy to find and enjoy original sound screenings (with subtitles or without) across Munich's vibrant cinema scene, from blockbuster theaters to arthouse venues.

 What Do OV, OmU, and OmeU Mean?

If you're new to watching movies in Munich in their original language, here's what these abbreviations mean:

• OV (Originalversion) - The movie is shown in its original language without any subtitles. Perfect for native speakers or those fluent in the movie's language.
• OmU (Original mit Untertiteln) - The movie is in its original language with German subtitles. This is the most common format for international films in Munich, allowing you to hear the authentic performances while following along in German.
• OmeU (Original mit englischen Untertiteln) - The movie is in its original language with English subtitles. Great for non-German speakers or when watching films in languages other than English.

All movies on this website are shown without German dubbing, preserving the original audio and performances.

 Why Watch Movies in Original Language?

Choosing to watch films in their original language offers numerous advantages that enhance your cinema experience:

• Authentic Performances - Hear the actors' real voices, emotions, and nuances that dubbing can't replicate.
• Director's Vision - Experience the film exactly as the director intended, with original audio mixing and sound design.
• Cultural Context - Understand cultural references, wordplay, and humor that often get lost in translation.
• Language Learning - Improve your English or other language skills while enjoying entertainment.
• True Cinematic Experience - Join the global audience in experiencing films as they were meant to be seen and heard.
