Das Boot (1981)
This is, quite simply, the best movie about naval warfare to ever grace the silver screen. Yeah, it takes an investment of more than 3 hours to watch the thing, but you come away so mesmerized that it feels like the time passed in a blink of an eye. It's a stunning portrayal of how the wartime tables turned on a confident German U-boat fleet of wolfpack hunters, as Allied fortunes turned and the wolves became the hunted, forced to flee, and hide, and endure the terror of incessant depth charge barrages. It's an emotional roller coaster that takes you from the elation of triumph to the humility of survival and the ultimate despair of defeat. It's also a movie that's powerful in its depiction of enemy combatants not as monsters, but as human beings who feel the same things we might feel. A masterpiece!

  • Better than the Hollywood-shit^^

    Best german movie ever!

  • This movie is so great because the characters are normal people caught up in dangerous and stressful situations, not fanatical nazis nor ruthless killing machines.

    Hollywood would have shown a scene where the crew would have seen the british sailors drowning while yelling "Yee-Haw!!"

see all

  • @EdgarEmigholz

    You don´t know anything about the famous Lanconia incident, right?

    Therefore you misunderstood my reply to the user "pxy24x28" completely.

    I would inform myself with one click to the Wikipedia, before I would write misguided replies to anybody, dear EdgarEmigholz.

  • @ToughCookie992 Get the director's cut. It's very much worth it. The additional footage doesn't detract from the tension at all; it's even more intense.

  • I'm going to buy the movie soon, can't wait to see it!

  • Perhaps the very best movie I ever watched.
