#TRIVIA:
"The bulk of the film's $15 million budget was spent on constructing U-boats. Specifications for the original Type VII-C U-boat were found at the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. The plans were taken to the original builder of the subs, who was commissioned to build a full-sized, sea-going replica, their first such assignment since the war ended. A second full-sized model was built for interior filming. Three scale models were built for special effects work. The first, a 35 foot remote controlled model, could sail in high seas and dive; the other two, 18 feet and 8 feet in length, were used for underwater shots. Scale models of tankers, destroyers and other ships were also built to complete the armada" - imdb

Feel the terror at 200 meters below the sea, witness how the hunter becomes the hunted

Oh yeah, Cleary you party animal, watching Das Boot the directors cut on Saturday evening at 11pm.

Dearest Françoise, this is my fourteenth letter to you, but you have yet to see one.

Painful struggling against war with a sudden and cruel end.

There are a lot of bananas in this movie.

Best submarine movie ever, have admire German U-boat crews for what they had to endure

This is going to be three hours of brain confusion.

De verdad que es una película excelente

Al fin encontré la película das boot, ya vieja pero muy buena

Never heard of it, but its supposed to be great/classic

Life on a World War II submarine kinda sucked. Ikke sant?

Picked up Das Boot on Blu... watching it now! My favorite Wolfgang Peterson film... and an awesome score!!!!

Wow 3 hours and 28 min. Directors cut. Here we go!!

Long ass movie. Gotta watch it in 2 parts

Never actually watched the whole movie before.

One of the best WWII movies ever made...

Bon film . bien aimé

Just got the missus to watch this. One of the best films ever made.

Wanted to rewatch this after touring Povodnaya Lodka B-427 Scorpion, a Foxtrot-class Soviet submarine last week. So claustrophobic!

can't believe I've never seen this. heard great things about it.

Always seem to leave it until late to watch long movies...

If only I still had my surround sound. This movie has the best soundtrack ever. The bass is guaranteed to make your house shake

war is hell no matter which side you think you are on

I just realized that this Director's Cut is three hours and twenty minutes. Holy cow! I've watched an hour and a half and I am not even half way yet. I am not sure if a U-Boat beat being in a foxhole in the infantry but out of 40,000 U-Boat sailors, 30,000 never survived. Yowza! As for the movie, it's good at creating the sense of claustrophobia. It's so realistic, it's almost not enjoyable.

What an amazing film! I am surprised it took so long for me to see it!
