I couldn't agree more. Dialogue (English version!) is dreadful in many 
current movies and while I accept that my ears aren't as good as they 
used to be, there are some real culprits (Tom Cruise is one) who seem 
incapable of pronouncing words clearly. If you get a chance, watch 
Casablanca again. It's such an old film now and the recording equipment 
would have been archaic compared to today's digital kit, but the sound 
quality throughout the film is superb and you can tell every word that 
every actor speaks, crystal clear. Modern sound engineers and recordists 
should take note.
