What did you expect? All of them in there dinner suites, how about just for you girls in the buff.

No way, this is a mans film lots of drinking throwing up, peeing on cars farting and crabs. A well acted film With high suspense and a gripping story line of life and death on a sea with no mercy.

Pass me a beer.

Maybe you should watch brokeback mountain... that'd be more up your street perhaps STEED... Whatever you want to say fine... but get off me!

Have you ever seen Glory? Even glory isn't always glorious!

wow im ashamed at this thread i start it and then ppl bitch at each other...all i wanna know is how many time ppl have seen the damn thing

frenema · 11-02-07, 10:58 PM

Once. Good movie, but I don't see the point of watching it again. And quite frankly it wasn't what I expected to see. I thought there would be little more action and glory rather than drama. But then again I'm still a teenager.

I usually throw it on while I'm playing. It's nice to have it in the background while I'm surface cruising out into the open waters.

Nothing to be ashamed about matey

A straight/honest answer.......6 at most (happy owner of original uncut DVD version)

mstgnymike · 11-03-07, 02:50 PM

FIREWALL · 11-03-07, 03:00 PM

Well Hey The crew on Run Silent Run Deep are pretty clean

I've seen it quite a few times but I'd say I've sat down and properly engaged with it about twice, so that's what I picked.

Not to bait or anything but I don't think it's some kind of tour-de-force mindblow to make the sub community weep. I think it's a great film, and definitely my favourite naval film for its authenticity, but I find it hard to believe a hardcore sub geek wouldn't find tons of inaccuracies in it. To the uninitiated it's as authentic as it gets, but it does have some glaring moments that make little sense. Giant cast iron flanges being repaired in 3 seconds flat, destroyers magically teleporting around the horizon (apparently), and I dislike the way the boat judders left and right violently as if (duh) it was rigged up to a structure that made it do just that. It would just go down as a slightly ropey special effect if it wasn't for the fact that Peterssen spent a lot of money on that rig in an attempt to make it look "as real as possible". I find it hard to believe a boat submerged in millions of tons of saline water would vibrate horizontally whenever under any shock. That is of course assuming she wouldn't have sunk somewhere within the first 40 minutes of the film in the first place.

It's great though. I'd love to get hold of the series version.
