Just bought the blu ray version.... Now have three versions and a version on my hard drive....how sad is that?
Anyway, the blu ray is cool

I too have got the Blue Ray version as well, got this one last year and it is better than the standard version.

I ordered the (Original) Uncut Version a few days ago. Still waiting for it to arrive but can't wait to see this awesome movie again!

Hey guys

I have "Das Boot" on video (what's a video?

) and was contemplating replacing it for a DVD so this was a useful thread. Is a Blu Ray version worth the extra pennies as it's pre-Blu Ray?

The Blue Ray version is the Directors Cut version and doesn't cover the whole feature length of the Mini Series Version. which is the best version of all. As far as quality is concerned the Blue Ray version is not that much better. Take my advice and go for the Full Length Min Series. You can order it from Amazon for about £8 now I think. Just watched it again tonight and I enjoyed it just as much as I have always done. This film must rate as one of the best war films ever made.

I'll go by your recommendation

Yes, the nearly-five-hour "Uncut" version is the one to see. I have all three versions and that's the only one I ever watch.
