Great Movie. I wonder why it isn't on TV more. I'm a fan of Sub movies and recently say "Enemy Below" and "Torpedo Run" back to back on a movie channel. Got me thinking of "Das Boot" and the fact I haven't seen it in many years.

That submarine set was also used for a well known scene in 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' which was filmed at the same time.

I was a submarine sailor in the 60's. When I saw Das Boot it brought it all back. I saw both the German version with subtitles and the English voice over version. Both are wonderful.
This was the only realistic submarine movie I have ever seen. There have been other very good movies but none of them give you the feeling of the cramped quarters that Das Boot does. I did not remember it being that long.
