Amen to that! |
Actually I prefer the movie to the book, and that is rare. However there's another very good submarine book=>movie conversion: Hunt For Red October. Apart from a few small things they took out of the movie to make it shorter ...
In any case. I never forgave the Academy that Das Boot didn't get any of the Oscars it was nominated for AND that it wasn't even nominated for best foreign language movie that year. :-(
