Very good war movie. Not funny but from a German perspective
One of the best war movies ever. You could almost smell the inside of the U-boat -- a mixture of sweat, urine, vomit and rotting sausages hanging from the pipework.
It took courage to board one of those steel coffins, much less try to run the Straits of Gibraltar in one.
Das Boot was the first time I went to a theater and noticed the wrap around sound system. Every time the hull creaked on the sub, the theater made it sound as if the walls were getting ready to cave in around the audience. It was an unnerving movie.
