Yep; the five-hour 'Uncut' version is the best.

And get away with it.

That's actually the only version I've seen all the way through. Birthday present from the wife a few years back. I suppose she does know me pretty well, actually...

(which is nice, as it's coming up again

)

The best version is the uncut with photocards and stuff, I finally got one some time ago, for only 10 euro sending included.

Jimbuna · 12-20-07, 06:44 AM

We have the same versions, but I got no photocards :hmm:

It was a special edition, 'Columbia Classics Collection'.
The dvd-box actually looked like this:

The box is a special kind and looks really special.
but had the same stuff inside as in my first picture.
It might be a only available in some countries.

Jimbuna · 12-21-07, 02:25 PM

This is the version I have

Needless to say, the way that a real 'boot operated and the way that mine does are WAY different. For starters...we don't have that much damn water coming in the hatch every time someone comes/comes topside...

All in all, great movie, and if anyone needs a copy, let me know.

Long upon the time......

I watched that film for the first time.... :hmm: I think I was a little boy at that time (first appearance on TV)

You have ever seen the making of ? Have a look at youtube...

Not sure about some of you but I can only watch Das Boot with the German soundtrack and not the English dubbing, I'm quite happy to watch it with the English subtitles. I have the mini series version and I always like to play it now and then, but after watching the first disc I have to fire up the PC and set out on a virtual patrol myself!
