Das Boot is a great movie. Top shelf certainly.

Better than rubbing sandpaper on your eyes, maybe, but not by much.

410? The version I have is 292 minutes, which is just shy of five hours.

My fault, sorry. 310 I meant, but math is not my shining side...

Both series versions are almost identical as far as I know, the one was cut in 6 equally long pieces of 52 minutes, the other in 4, with the first three parts being almost twice as long each than the last one. I have no knowledge why these two cuts exist, they both were made for TV.

The last time I watched it I tried to break it up into six parts of 48 minutes each (I assume the difference in length comes from opening and closing credits in each episode). I was fine until I had to switch discs and actually had to do some counting. My math is no better than yours.

I really wish they'd release it actually divided into the episodes. Five hours is a bit long for me these days.
