I've rented Das Boot (2 DVDs) and am just about to slip one into the DVD player and watch it. Pass the popcorn...

Never watched it my self yet. always been into military history (former land warrior) but just this last year started getting interested in the naval side (partly due to sh3). plan on seeing it soon. recently seen the "director's cut" on sale---is that the long or short one?
From all the talk on this forum i assume it is the be all end all. only wwII sub movie i've seen is an old one but can't remember the name (has robert mitchum in it and the destroyer rams the german sub in the end and sits on top of it:rotfl: ) still, i like those old style movies--obviously Das Boot is more realistic?

:rotfl:What a coincidence! I watches Das Boot again last night, and I actually love it more know, as it is far more interesting when you have played SH3 a bit.

I agree that that film should be watched in german with subtitles, and also that whoever hasn`t seen it get the long version. (216 minutes)

This movie really makes resupplying in Vigo alot more fun.

Yay, i would pay some money to forget ever viewing Das Boot, just so I can see it for the first time again!

The best ride ever!

I should buy it again, the copy I have is a dual sided DVD and it's darn near impossible to keep it unsmudgy.

Remember to turn up the volume when you hear "It's a long way to Tiperary" and sing along!!

Put out the lights, cool the room down to 60 degrees F, and put on your wool sweater, and enjoy the DC scenes!

Yep-watching it in German with subtitles is the best way!
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

After watching Das Boot in German, I actually switched to German voice overs in SH3 since English sounded wrong.

you have never seen Das Boot? oh my god lad, where have you been. im convinced it should be made compulsory viewing at all christenings!

bookworm_020 · 09-07-06, 02:37 AM

The purchase of Das Boot should be a requirement of joining this forum!

Now, where do I get my 10% cut of sales??

Very good idea - maybe not purchase, but watch.
I recommend you to watch uncut version, much longer than stock or director's cut.
Really must have for SH3 players.
