Das Boot is unique in that it doesn't really have a plot; it just follows a patrol as it goes from bad to worse. The only thing I can imagine being better would be a movie about one of the real aces.

My thoughts exactly. As I was reading P_Funks comment I wondered if he hasn't seen
Band of Brothers. I read a good review and bought
Band of Brothers without any further knowelge of it. Am I glad I did. After watching BOB I watched
Saving Private Ryan again. It just does'nt compare.
Now I just need to shell out the change a get the full version of
Das Boot. It hard for me to watch my directors cut knowing there is more.
