I second that

I'm Dutch and i watch this movie in german. I understand German very well, but I cant speak it that good. I select subtitels because i don't understand every word. I mean the specific submarine words (if you know what I mean)

I have as well the DC and the mini series. I'm trying to get a better copy of the DC because the one I have has German language 2.0 while English has 5.1 and that's frustrating

Oh but there is....you forgot the case of beer.

The original uncut version, in German, with either French or Spanish subtitles. A good way to maintain fluency in 2 languages at once!

Watching it again tonight.

push the sposue out of the way, tell the bitch I am watching this, she leans over, and moves, and that is the end of it.

Push the bitch out of the away and enjoy the movie.

1. Huge flat screen
2. German lingo
3. 2 cases of Dortmunder beer
4. Pipe my Benz exhaust into the house to get all "Diesely"
5. Cook up a pot of Sauerkraut and cabbage for aromatherapy along with not flushing the toilets for a week prior to movie time.
6. Let the bathtub overflow for flooding effect.
7. Invite the middle aged German lady over who has a better mustache than mine.

I think you forgot to mention getting into the cold shower fully clothed then rubbing table salt into your eyes

The question was "How do you watch the movie?", not "What do you do for fun?"

Besides, eyes full of salt makes it kind of hard to actually 'watch' the movie.

On the other hand, so does asphyxiation by Benz exhaust, unless you time it just right.

Well, after rubbing the salt into his eyes, perhaps he watches the movie.....with great difficulty

Ya got me there. I can't quibble with that one.

Original uncut version (is there any other version these days?) here. The English subtitles on my disk seem to be a bit off for whatever reason, so sometimes I go without them even though I don't speak German; depends on my mood and/or if I'm watching with someone else.

Even though the subtitles in my copy are off in some places, the worst subtitle gripe I have was when I was watching "Gettysburg", during the bayonet charge on Little Round Top. Colonel Chamberlain yells "charge!" and the subtitle says "go!".... not quite as dramatic, but I guess the subtitle-editor-dude thought the dialogue was being too repetitive

German with subtitles , i have the 5 hour mini series uncut it's an amazing film and worth every penny of the 7 pounds i payed for it from amazon uk.

Watching it in German, but the English version is just to funny. Listening to Semmelrogge's accent is just too hilarious.
