Can you say "useless"? Das Boot is a German movie. This particular cut was the Director's cut. To see the whole movie, one would have to flip the disc over on its other side. So we did, expecting to have a menu there to choose English... (Read full review at Amazon)

There have many submarine films but this one is simply the best. Films featuring U.S. submarines invariably depict spacious boats with clean, well-dressed crews.

This is the best submarine movie ever! The directors cut, even at over three hours, just flys by - you don't realize you've been watching so long. The action grabs you and the tension holds you in the story.

DAS-Aufladung ist eine von Filme am emotionalsten mit einbeziehen, die ich berhaupt gesehen habe. Die Buchstaben werden reich, ohne jene unbeholfenen Momente in den Filmen entwickelt, wenn Sie feststellen, dass der Direktor so tut. Sie... (Read full review at Amazon)

This is the restored, 209-minute director's cut of Wolfgang Petersen's harrowing and claustrophobic U-boat thriller, which was theatrically rereleased in 1997. Originally made as a five-hour miniseries, this version devotes more time to getting to know the crew before they and their stoic captain (J?rgen Prochnow) get aboard their U-boat and find themselves stranded at the bottom of the sea. Das Boot puts you inside that submerged vessel and explores the physical and emotional tensions of the situation with a vivid, terrifying realism that few movies can match. As Petersen tightens the screws and the submerged ship blows bolts, the pressure builds to such unbearable levels that you may be tempted to escape for a nice walk on solid land in the great outdoors--only you wouldn't dream of looking away from the screen. --Jim Emerson
