Das Boot was excellent.

Bit of trivia on the movie: The actors were all fluent in German, with that being the native language of most of them. When they did the dubbing into an English version, the same actors were used as they all were also English speaking.

Interesting. Although I still prefer the subtitled version, I remember thinking it was probably the best job of dubbing a film into English that I’d ever seen.

They actually shot two versions of "The Longest Day", one with the actors speaking their native languages, and they also filmed the scenes with them speaking English, not dubbed. I much prefer to hear the actors in their native tongues with the subtitles.
