In Spain most films are shown dubbed, but there are some cinemas that show films in their original language with Spanish subtitles. If you are planning to be in Madrid some time, look for the marking “VO”, “VOS” or “VOSE” (original version with Spanish subtitles) beside the showing. My favourite cinemas in Madrid are:
- Cine Yelmo Ideal, Calle del Doctor Cortezo 6, 28012 Madrid
- Cine Renoir Princesa, Calle Princesa 3, 28008 Madrid.
- Cine Renoir Plaza de España, Calle Martin de Heros 10, 28008 Madrid
- Cine Golem Madrid, Calle Martin de los Heros 14, 28008 Madrid
- Cine Renoir Retiro, Calle de Narvaez 42, 28009 Madrid
- Cines Verdi, Calle Bravo Murillo 28, 28015 Madrid
- Cine Estudio Circulo de Bellas Artes, Calle Alcala 42, 28014 Madrid
- Filmoteca Cine Doré (Classic films in English, programme changes daily), Calle Santa Isabel 3, 28012 Madrid
- Cines Manoteras 3D, Avenida de Manoteras 40, 28050 Madrid
Unfortunately Cine Renoir Cuatro Caminos, closed on 30 september 2013.

I’m with you on this, Jose Ignacio. I can’t get over how many people prefer dubbed versions that usually lose all the impact and inflections of the originals. Give me subtitled versions any day!
Certainly, the actors’ performance is fully disfigured .
Prefer to hear the original language, too. Thanks for posting this.
You’re much welcome, Keishon!
In Italian cinemas absolutely everything is dubbed – it is mostly done very well (even Italian films were dubbed as until very recently they were not filmed with live sound recorded on the set if you can believe it).
I didn’t know that Sergio, thanks for the information.
