The movie public just doesn't get many WW2 submarine movies to watch.
Likewise with WW2 warship movies. It would be nice to see more of all of
these in future movies. I see that they are even starting to make remakes
of older westerns. Maybe this remake of older movies will spill over to WW2

Argh!!.....necro thread

that being said I have seen the directors cut- about 2/12 hours and the full version- 6 plus hours. No comparison in my mind -the six hours version adds all the feelings and emotions (including outright boredoom at times) of life on a sub. In fact i was quite dissaapointed in the "shorter" version having watched the longer version first.

definelty needs to be seen with German language and English subtitles-
english dubbing is good but really draws away the realism

also-surround sound with bass all the way up makes the DD attacks really scare the beejesus out of you

my two cents anyway

Where do people get these numbers from? The theatrical release was 2 1/2 hours, the Director's Cut is 3 1/2 hours, and the full-length version is 492 minutes, or 4 hours and 52 minutes; still long at almost 5 hours, but hardly "6 plus hours".

HI, NEWBIE ABOARD


This was a topic in a forum in early spring 2007. Favorite sub films.


For the submarine cookbook I'm writing with assist from SUBFOR CSCM, including for the general public (civilians) the top 12 or 24 movies as recommended by submariners. Portion of book proceedss to USSVI memorial boats fund, portion to those books that sell the book.


Have many sub movie lists. Thought you might be interested in how one submariner rated his favorites.


Question: Is there a movie based on Blind Man's Bluff (fictionarlized of course)?
