Aw... Dang.

That's okay. We get all kinds of wierdos in here.

I'll get Tora Tora Tora and put it right next to Pearl Harbor on the shelf and take a picture for all to see.

You'll watch Tora! Tora! Tora!, and you'll be so intrigued you'll actually do some research, then you'll realize what a godawful load of crap Pearl Harbor really is.

I LIKE PEARL HARBOR AND I'M PROUD!

It's okay, everybody has some form of worthless trash they like. You probably also like U-571.

I don't like U-571 anymore... I used to but not anymore.

@Oberon, that's almost a year ago

The principle is the same. U-571 is to Das Boot what Pearl Harbor is to Tora! Tora! Tora!

Well I like Pearl Harbor more than I ever liked U-571.

I'm not sure it's fair to compare the two, at least U-571 has Harvey Keitel in it wisecracking to Matt McAbsOnDisplay that "she'll go all the way to the bottom" if they let her.

You have me concerned for you well being.Maybe it has some sort of nostalgia or sparked you interest in WWII.

Anyway I have a multiple step program AA based program that can help you.It is simple really you simply watch better films.

First you watch "Tora Tora Tora" and also read up a little on the first six months of the Pacific War and the time period leading up to the start the war.
Then you watch some of the other films listed in this thread.

I bet your history teacher approves of "Pearl Harbor" she probably wants a revised version that make the Japanese appear to be the victims though.Which they where in way but of their own government.

I'll watch it eventually. It's pretty far down the list.

She showed us a clip from the movie of the attack. I asked her why don't I just bring the whole movie in and we actually watch it.

"Ummmm...nooo. I don't like showing movies"

But yet, we watched All Quiet on the Western Front and The Grapes of Wrath (I slept through 75 percent of that one)...and we watched them on her personal Netflix!

I had a movie for almost every chapter. I kept asking her to show a movie and had all these reasons about how it would help us learn.

Well, I won't have to deal with that awful woman anymore. She resigned.

Hey any movie that has Jon bon Jovi getting hit in the face with a hatch cover can't be all bad.

LOL

That is its only redeeming quality.It pains me to admit that I watched U-571 in the theater.

Luckily it was a German Kino near the base that showed some films in English and they also served beer so I drank several beers and did not pay much attention.I did notice that several people cheered when Bon Jovi got smacked.

Pearl Harbor sucks(language)

[Subnuts]

I keep hoping that someday a bunch of Subsim forum members will get together and record a Mystery Science Theater-style commentary for U-571. The German destroyer blowing up at the end is still one of the most unintentionally funny things I've seen in a movie.
