But remember, some women...*gasp*....fake that they like the Holy Grail of submovies in order to fool innocent submarine-boys.

When a female says that she likes Das Boot, carefully observe any sudden variations in the dilation of pupils, sudden sweating, quickening of pulse or any other tell tale signs of lying.

My test was always: "If she can sit, riveted, watching my favorite film, 2001: A Space Odessey, she's a keeper."

That sounds like realistic, consider anything more a reason to propose sooner.

She loves horror movies I have watched plenty with her (I'm not a big fan of horror, but I love my wife more!)

Still waiting to hear back about the train job (not bus), but it seems positive at this stage!

At least I'll have a seat! I figured if you can't beat them, join them. After being sujected to the rail system for the last 15 plus years, it was time to go over to the dark side!

EDIT: Just got an email saying that I just have to undergo a medical (turn your head and cough!) and a background check (If they look at this website, I'm $@#!*&) and I'm in. I speek english too well to become a guard!:-)

Mine likes it but only the english dubbed version as she hates reading all the way through 3 hours of movie. Says if she'd wanted to read the story she'd have bought the book.

She still says I watch it too much though. The kids always whinge when dad puts on one of his submarine movies. They haven't gotten past me opening the DVD cover.
