The Critical Drinker gives Das Boot a look
 

Still the standard to which all others have to be compared.

I say when it comes to Sub movies and The hunt for Red October is second, while Crimson Tide is third. (those are the sub movies I have seen)

Hah, saw this on my youtubes feed and thought about posting it to the other thread you made about CD.


Wonderful guy, really like his content. :up:

A pretty good assessment.

I don't know. I mean this falls just behind "Down Periscope" for me.

Das Boot was what stirred my interest in submarines.
I expect you are aware, but I was surprised to learn recently that the actual lead engineer on U 96, who was a central character in the series, is still alive.
Although he declined any involvement in the filming, at the venerable age of 103, Mr. Friedrich Grade is now providing his unique insight toward the development of the sub sim Crush Depth, which will be epic if it sees fruition.
