I will freely admit to having a soft spot for poor Johann. Sadly, I don't think he could ever love any woman as much as he loves those infernal machines.

My wife will only watch the scenes that the captain is in (She saw him in another movie and thinks he's hot). Any scene without him in it makes her lose interest. She's never watched Das Boot for more than 5 minutes straight.
My personal mission is to get her to watch 2001: A Space Odyssey all the way through. Thats my favorite movie ever and she always falls asleep in the first five minutes. That, and the fact that there's no hot guys in it for her to oogle at. A movie pretty much has to have at least ONE hot guy in it for her to have ANY interest.

Then again... I can't sit through her movies either for the reason that they're boring and full of "hot guys".

Butterfly effect loved that movie

thats about a guy who can go back and forth in time where he lives a different life each time if i remeber right. First is good the sequels are rubbish . She will mosty likely like 'The Time Travellers wife' (2009) another 'where the hell am I' movie.

I've subjected my missus and 3 daughters to DasBoot on two occasions. Managed to get 3 out of the 4 to sit through the first go around but only the wife sat through the second watching.

Must give it another go. It's been a few years since trying the last time.

My girls always say "Not a submarine movie!" when it's my turn to choose what we are watching.

she is going to return fire, and force you to watch the "Notebook." In which case make sure you have plenty of the motion sickness pilss dramine or whatever. those should put you to sleep in 20 mins or so.

Got my Girl to watch Das Boot

She was actually interested, to my surprise, even though she knows nothing about U-boats, she was sitting there all curious wanting to see what is going to happen next.

She told me that i should get the next game, i think that she is trying to trick me, into getting it so she can play it herself

Mission Completed.

Worse, I had to watch Dear John..

While I think it was a decent enough of a movie to watch, the ending SUCKS.. I won't spoil it for anyone though. Typical Nicholas Sparks movie.

Dune I would suspect.

I still expect him to say "The tooth" everytime I watch Das Boot

Lol, I did it backwards then. So impressed was I with Herr Prochnow in Das Boot - and so interested in seeing other films in which he played a somewhat leading, non-villainous role - that I actually rented a copy of Dune (the director's cut, no less - more pain for your dollar!)... a movie that I had successfully avoided for lo these many years.

I turned it off right after he died and not even the memory of him in that still-suit is going to make me watch it again.

Y'know he reprises his role as a U-boat captain (of sorts) in another movie.
