As someone who only watches OV with (if not English or German) English or German subtitles I would love to have one thing which movie theatres don't get: A filter for "OV" (Original Version). Thing is, they "have" it, but they exclude german OV's for a reason I don't understand.
Example: Go to https://www.cinecitta.de/, and check the movie screenings. You'll find "Andrea lässt sich scheiden", an Austrian movie with original audio in German. But as soon as you go to the menu and select "Original Versions + OmU" they don't show it anymore, even though it is OV! I don't get that.
So, my wish, Niki: Can you identify original German movies played in German as "OV" as well?
That would be highly confusing for a German. OV always means that it is in a foreign language here, in cinema listings. Adding OV to German movies would identify them as not German.
I know that does not follow from the meaning of the word, but it just is how the label is used.
Yeah, sure, people would be confused for a while, but as "OV" has variations anyways it could then be something like "DeOV", "Deutsche Orginalvertonung".
But honestly, it's not even about that being written there. I just want them to show up when I filter by "OV", as a lot of cinemas have that option on their website.
Luckily in Berlin there are the Yorck cinemas where they play OV's per default, so I ended up only going to their cinemas, only using their website to search what's playing. That's why I've only discovered now what Babylon is playing!
I just discovered they play Terminator 2 at Babylon Berlin tonight, thinking of going there, always wanted to see that on a big screen :)
It seems like your list is not showing "OV", "OVmU" correctly at Babylon. Both Terminator 2 (https://babylonberlin.eu/programm/festivals/scifi/7199-scifi...) and the mentioned Matrix (https://babylonberlin.eu/programm/festivals/scifi/7192-scifi...) there are OVmU according to their website, but that doesn't show in your list. I guess the data is provided wrongly.
