Another Das Boot Thread

Ever since I joined up here at Subsim I have been meaning to buy a copy of Das Boot. I finally broke down and bought the original uncut version on sale from Amazon. It arrived in the mail yesterday and I spent my whole evening watching it from beginning to end. I haven't seen a movie in recent history that was this exciting (although, the last hour of Melancholia rates a close second to this)!

The whole time they're at sea I'm picturing in the back of my mind my own U-boot in SH3 crashing through the waves. Every attack they endure becomes my own, and of course their final struggle at Gibraltar absolutely blew my mind. SH3 will never be the same for me after this.

The only thing I really didn't like about the movie, knowing now what I've learned from around here, were the depth charges exploding so close to the boat without destroying it. But other than that, the movie engrossed me so much that I didn't get to bed until nearly 1AM this morning. I had to watch it in full. It was that good.

Das Boot is quite the experience. Thanks for getting me hooked, Subsim.
