I have managed to get my wife to watch the holy of holys! We both watched Das Boot together!

And she liked it!

Can life get any better!

My (now-ex) girlfriend watched 30 minutes of the uncut and asked why they were "speaking russian or french or whatever" before telling me that I liked "wierd" movies.

Jimbuna · 09-03-08, 08:26 AM

My wife never got past the opening title screen

My wife leaves the house for the day when she sees me watch Das Boot as she knows that is 5 hours of torture for her.

If by "brains" you mean "boobs" then you'd be wrong.

I've only seen the director's cut myself !

There is a fair amount of romance and romantic humor in the beginning of the 'Uncut' version. I can see where that would appeal to some women.

Yeah, when the Kaleun looks at his U-boat in the pens.....you can tell it's true love.
<sigh>

She had a great figure, too.

Depends on what other movies you two watch together ...

P.S. Did you get that job driving the bus, yet?

In my eyes, you dont have to be into Subs, or WWII history, or whatever to appreciate the Holy Grail of sub movies. (though, it helps...)

You just have to appreciate great movie making. It's such a stunningly well written and directed, and acted film....

Blacklight · 09-03-08, 12:44 PM

My circle will probably never be complete. In order to complete it, my wife has to play one of my board games and actually not fall asleep durring movies I like.

Enigma · 09-03-08, 12:45 PM

Eh, it's ok to have your own circle.
