Just watching the film.

They are at the daring rescue bit involving a long cable and two planes Why didn't the first guy just come over armed with loads of parachutes???

He used to make good Films... Das Boot must be the best U-Boot-Movie ever.

The funniest comment about that movie was from a morning talk show program on radio:

"...but I think the best special effect of Ari Force 1 was making a likable President."

Same for Harrison Ford, I wonder why he accepted that part

But maybe he just couldn't resist playing the President just once

Personally I'm not a big fan of his. Other than the star wars and Indianna Jones movies, he's never impressed me. He's just not believable.

Perhaps Germans appreciate that movie more than I do, but in my opinion, "Run Silent, Run Deep" (Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster) and "The Enemy Below" (Kurt Jurgens and Robert Mitchum) are both superior from both an acting and plot perspective.

I think their style is too typical for 50's war movies...and as you can imagine, I don't like that style...

IMHO, "Das Boot" is the greatest film ever about war under the sea...

@Strahd, I also like his role in "Blade Runner".

It depends: try to imagine anyone else for Han Solo or Indy. He may not be that great an actor, but he has his very own, impossible to copy style, which is just perfect for those movies.

And in most other movies he is quite convincing as well (Blade Runner, Patriot Games, and some movies I dont know the english titles for)

What lies Beneath was a good one, too. Gave me the creeps though


edit: I haven seen Das Boot yet, I always felt too young for it(what I saw seemed depressing), but everyone I konw who knows it says its great, and I think I am now old enough to watch it (almost 21 )

Topha: I just turned 21 on the 13th, and I've seen Das Boot years ago. This really is one of the best Movies ever in my book. Don't see the Cinema version, though, and don't see the director's cut. See the TV version, it's almost six hours!

ARD or ZDF show it every few years on three evenings. Tape it!

He was very good in The Fugitive, even though Tommy Lee Jones outshined him by a large margin.

I've got the DVD version of Das Boot, but don't even think about watching the English dialog version... they butchered it sooooo badly. Just listen to the German dialog, and use the subtitles.

It's been a while since I've seen that movie, but aren't they flying over the ocean at that point?

Its just that I saw a few minutes when I was about 11 or 12, and after that I never got around to watching it, thats all
