Well at least no one mentioned Crash Dive.

Yes, Steve, I know it has your S Boats in colour.

Forced to choose between watching U571 and Crash Dive, I would reluctantly choose U571. And I hate U571.

Ugh!!!! I watched that for about 15 minutes (right up until the one guy is on the train) and had to turn it off. I know its propaganda but didn't anyone seriously believe this stuff?

Do you always post without bothering to read the thread first?

Default The Das Boot comment...

Hi...

Just felt the need to inform you that Das Boot originally was shot as a television series... this explains how the long version might seem a bit to long. It is! It was never intended to be watched in a five hour sitting!

To this day I cannot understand why they had to release it on DVD as a five hour film? They should at least give the wiewer the chance to select an episode wiew.

I have the original series on old VHS tape, and each episode opens with a narrative giving you the "this has happened so far".

It is much easier to watch when you can take it in in shorter "bursts"...

When it comes to realism, no other submarine film comes close!!!

i have to totally disagree about the length of das boat being an issue. the full length version is miles better than the shortened one imo.

for me i would have it in my top ten best EVER films.

the only downside to it is the ending, it always saddens me to see their fate after all they went through.

top top film.
