Mission: Get Girlfriend to watch Das Boot

[Chad]

GASP! Next girlfriend?!

Despite our movie preferences, I'm hoping this one sticks around longer than the other ones

[Barra1]

I think I have gone one step better. I got my girlfriend to watch Das Boot some time ago, and the best part? She is Polish!

Of course watching and enjoying are two different matters

[audessy]

I win. 5 years ago I had my 20 year old girlfriend who is german/polish origin, has done modeling for clothing and is going to school to be a plastic surgeon.

She didn't lose focus for all 3+ hours and at the end when the captain dies as he's watching his boat sink she said it was one of the saddest movies she'd ever seen. We discussed the movie for an additional 30 minutes after it was over.

And my dumbass didn't follow her when she moved.

Just remember this guys. What's good for the Goose is good, for the Gander.

You make her watch 6 hrs of Das Boot you, WILL have to watch the same hr amount of "Chick Flicks".

Let's see now... On Golden Pond, Driveing Miss Daisy, Brokeback Ridge, ect. And I'm sure there's more. LOTS MORE.

Get the picture now ?

Having sat through hours of Pride and Prejudice, Emma, Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park I've gotta get a look in occasionally right?

TBH I've also seen the movies you mentioned and enjoyed all of them.

But then my definition of "chick flicks" is "movies I like" so the possibilities for inclusion are somewhat expanded.

(However given the choice between my trio and yours, whilst channel surfing for instance, ATM I would probably opt for one of mine. Unless Groundhog Day is on another station, then it's a no-brainer.)

Well, my girlfriend works at Blockbuster and most of our evenings together are generally ended with watching some movie at either of our places. I must say this tends to be alot of fun because I'm also a movie fanatic (she owns more than 200 movies.)

Anyhow, I have two movies I want her to watch, the first being Fandango which is my honest opinion the best movie ever made, especially the flying parts. Note: I'm a pilot, so the idea of Truman Sparks is the coolest and funniest thing I've ever seen or heard of.

The second movie I want her to see is Das Boot. I'm hoping for good results and hopefully her love for extremely good dramas will take effect. Wish me luck.

On a side note, tonight after watching "The Box" and the opening to the Olympics she told me she loved me for the first time.

Best to ya'll,

My Wife is not that much into "Chick Flicks". Ok, she likes "You've got Mail", "Six Days Seven Nights" and "Father of the Bride" (The Remake), but these are films that I can watch too, without being bored to death.

Years ago, when she asked me what my favourite Movie is, I said, of course, "Das Boot".

She had never seen it, so I told her it's veeeery looooong, about an U-Boat and it's Crew in WW2 and, above all, very well made. She agreed to watch, sat through the whole experience and cried at the end because so many died.
She thinks, it's one of the greatest Movies ever made.

After "Das Boot" she became more and more fond of movies and series that are not typically considered "girly".

Now, after 16 years living together, she nearly loves her "Band of Brothers" DVD-Box just as much as the "Firefly"-Box.
She likes "Master and Commander", "Captain Horatio Hornblower", "Deadwood", "Star Wars", "Die Hard", cried while watching "Gladiator" and "Saving Private Ryan" and is looking forward when "The Pacific" is released on DVD in Germany.

I consider her my Soulmate.

Eh, I'm more of a stand-and-fight girl.



Besides, they might not chase me, and where's the fun in that?

I managed to get one of my ex-girlfriends to watch Das Boot with me once. Half way in she said the movie "sucks" so i kicked her out of the apartment and fired up SH3 and continued to watch the movie .

My daughter Vickie and I watched it Friday night, all the way through in one sitting.
