Das Boot is hands down the best submarine movie ever made.

Comparing those two to each other is like comparing "Blazing Saddles" to "Unforgiven".
Re: 14 Sailors Die on Secretive Russian Nuclear Submarine; Putin Calls Incident ‘Great Loss’
I totally disagree with your analogy. The former are big Studio productions with major stars showing them living in virtual luxury (submarine wise). Das Boot showed the reality. If I'm not mistaken, Das Boot is the only submarine film ever nominated for "Best Film" Oscar and for good reason.

No, both "Down Periscope" and "Blazing Saddles" were farces. The other 2 movies were serious dramas.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 11:33 pmI totally disagree with your analogy.

Holy Crap. No Das Boot on Netflix or Amazon, but available on youtube- free it says. I'll reserve judgement on that depending on the ad frequency.

Gotcha. I've never seen " Down Periscope" so I had no idea where you were leading.B-Tender wrote: ↑Wed Jul 03, 2019 11:43 pmNo, both "Down Periscope" and "Blazing Saddles" were farces.
