Das Boot what version?

[[RS]Wedge]

I'm looking at buying a copy of Das Boot. There are two versions The directors cut with 60+ min of additional footage (blue cover) and then there is the Original directors uncut version (gray cover)? I know that the grey cover version has an additional disk with special features, but as far as the actual film is there a difference between the two?

There's also the 'Original, Uncut Version', which is an hour and a half longer than the Director's Cut. That's my favorite.

There's also the special Blu-Ray set, which comes with the Director's Cut and the original Theatrical Release, which is an hour shorter.

I will go with the original uncut version (grey) cover 2 DVD set.

I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand at first. Yes, I prefer the 'Uncut' version, as it has the most footage and the best storytelling. The Director's Cut, just so you know, does have better subtitles and better sound. Still, I like the long version. The more boat, the better. :rock:

The more boat, the better. :rock:

Also, about the character development. The more, the better.

There are less holes in the story when you watch the Uncut version....which I still haven't been able to watch. :/\\!! Some day...

P.S. Steve....i'm sorry to say, I passed on a 5$ copy of Tora Tora Tora last week. :wah: :nope: I know...I know...Bad....

In terms of subtitles, the most creative is the iTunes version. Especially the description of Gibraltar :o

There is no "good", or "bad". But it's your loss. :sunny:

It's the common thing to say about it. :)

I did get Run Silent Run Deep for a dollar and The Godfather for 4$...along with 7$ for The Thin Red Line...so I did alright that day...but someday I shall return for Tora Tora Tora. :yeah:

Sound is half the Movie for me! I watch the "Das Boot Director's Cut". Of course on a 60" flat screen TV and for sound running through to 2 QSC 2450 RMX amplifiers and a DBX crossover, 2 Jbl Mpro 18" subwoofer cabinets for low end and for high end 2 Dual Jbl Mpro 15" fullrange cabinets. I take my Movie watching seriously. Oh yeah a popcorn machine ready and some ice cold Beck's! You should hear them charges kicking under 40HZ. Don't worry my pictures frames are well fastened to the wall!

My $0.02 (for what it's worth), see if you can track down the 2 disc mini series. 4 hours & 42 minutes of epicness. Oh, I also own the director's cut.
