I agree. It is just fun to watch if you set aside historical accuracy.

"In enemy hands" is just horrible, don't even waste your time with it.. after watching Das boot and Enemy below, I doubt you will even be able to stand 5 minutes of it.

Unfortunately those of us who live for history see it as a travesty. I couldn't even enjoy the exciting parts. It's about as believable as Space Battleship Yamato.

I would probably watch that at least once. :oops: :O:

I've reason to believe you watched it twice :DL

I'm sorry but Space Battleship Yamato is more believable than U-571...

And I watched many times:D

I wish I could watch Yamato.
If it doesn't have the same music as the trailer :o

Wait a minute... Space Battleship Yamato actually exists? I thought Steve made it up. :haha:

Since it's late here and I am sleepy, I am gone to blame that for not knowing if you're joking or not! If not... go get a copy and see it!

Ah, manga. That explains why I've never heard of it. I thought it would be like some crazy 50s B&W sci-fi B-movie, which might actually be kooky enough to be enjoyable.

I let myself be talked into watching one episode way back when. That was enough.

It is a movie as well :

It is a great piece of sci-fi IMO and revolutionized the japonese animation industry. Many people consider that the series were the first anime and before that the japonese cartoons were "japan animation"!

For a animation 70's show, it has a lot of caracter development and stories, more than many movies/tv live action series!

Just watched Das Boot for the first time after hearing about it before becoming a member on this site, and wow one of the more amazing movies i've seen.
