Best movie I half seen

[GimmeTheBall!]

Then you need to watch U-571 next. Both are great movies. Das Boot, Bridge on the river Kwai, Saving Private Ryan, The Dirty Dozen, and The Big Red One are probably my favorite WWII movies.

RIver Kwai was more literary, but I did like it. Saving Private Ryan was a masterpiece but the initial killing went on a bit long (I know, it told the story correctly in all its gore)
All I Remember about The Big Red One was Lee Marvin, one of the great.

A good list!
(You half one of the great avators on this forum, btw)

I thought Das boot was something you drank beer out of

Well, we half done that but only in true emergencies.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Can add "The Thin Red line" and Schindler's List". One that is overlooked IMO is "Enemy at the Gates" in which a Russian and a German sniper play a game out cat and mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad, an excellent movie.

ENEMY AT THE GATES was herb-superb. Like a chess game. Ed Harris has got to be one of the most underrated actors around.

If you like Das boot and/or U571, you might like In Enemy hands.

"Das Boot"

Man it half everything: submarines, danger, sinking ships.

And it is shot from the point of view that these German submariners are regular guys.
And they get many occasions to dis Hitler.
At one point, as they are sinking allied ships I am going: "Yeah!" Then I catch myself and feel guilty. But that is great filmmaking when you actually bond with the characters.

I highly recommend thisl. Das boot mean The Boat, by the way.

Holla

Thanks for the recommendation (sounds cool) will be sure to check it out!

What about 'Patton'?
George C. Scott killed it IMO.
I thought 'Windtalkers' was pretty good.
And 'Tora! Tora! Tora!'

You should watch the other half before making such judgement.

Beerfest (Great buddy flick)

The guy from Das Boot was also in Beerfest and there was a short scene paying tribute to Das Boot in Beerfest. Of course everyone already knows this information. I just like stating the obvious.

Bridge at Remagen
Run Silent Run Deep
Alvin York

And the greatest of all time....Operation Petticoat

You won't be sorry. Hey, if you half an afinity for technology, Das Boot shows the dawn of radar/sonar teknology. The British developed it and as soon as sonar started working, the German sub fleet was toast. Soddenly the German subs were the hunted. And the opening credits tell us that 40,000 German submariners went to war at sea and only one quarter of those returned home.
donut delay! go to blockbuster and get it. Oh, wait, blockbuster sleeps with the fish. Well, get it at Amazon
