Das Boot is THE best submarine movie I've ever seen. You just feel like you're in that sub with them.

I got it yesterday but I didn't have 3 1/2 hours to watch it all before bedtime.

So when I get home, I'll get dinner and try to have the movie on by 7:30 at the latest.

Think I'll make popcorn.

Das Boot gives me the screaming willies. Going to sea is treacherous enough... but there's something unnatural about ships that sink on purpose. Thousands of years of continually improved boat design... to prevent that very thing.

I'm not even claustrophobic or anything, but I just don't see how those submarine guys do it. Maybe being on a boomer would be OK, where you just run away and hide and play cards... but this bidness of depth charges and torpedoes...? Nope. I want to at least be able to float away when the boat sinks.

*shudder*

I prolly better not ever see it, then. The idea of being in a small space and under tons of water just gives me the creeps.

*shudder*
