Favorite Movie?

To be serious Das boot is a great film. It was under rated for a long time.

I watched Brazil last night. I forgot how good that movie is. Gattaca's up there too.

I've heard Das Boot panned by U-Boat vets in some documentaries. They said the sub didn't shake violently during a depth charge attack. The shaking certainly adds to the drama though. :)

They are of course right...technically it was the camera shaking the most...:D Otherwise it's the most accurate depiction of what life had to have been like for boatmen, and our boats weren't that far removed from the U-Boats, we had to copy someone....and the U-Boat designs were one of the best...:cool:

The party wasn't that far off the mark either....:drink:

Debbie does Dallas :eek:

The Blues Brothers

and, as stated elsewhere, htere are far more titles I could add, but there are a lot of good choices above already
and some strange ones too ..............

I've never been able to pick one favorite. Or even two. You've doomed me on this thread!

So I'll give you what's stayed at the top of my list nearly all my life:

Transformers: the Movie

:D

I always had the impression most of the WWII German types were still using WWI technology. The Oberons weren't that old, were they? The Type XXI seemed to be the German's most modern, but coming too late for them. Nice site on the U-Boats:

The krauts had good torpedos, something the Yanks sorely lacked. I can't remember who said it, but the Americans had the best subs in WWII, and the worst torpedos. Little known fact, American subs sank more tonnage than the Germans during the war.

alright... everyone else is breaking the rules... so here goes...

Star Wars original trilogy, Anchor Man, Wargames, Sneakers, Christmas Vacation, Animal House, Enter the Dragon, Eulogy, Rocky series [except 5 and balboa], Lethal Weapon, Fight Club,Police Academy, Black Sheep, Tommy Boy, Happy Gilmore, Billy Madison, Airheads, Indiana Jones Trilogy, Walk the Line, Where the buffalo roam, and quite a few of the movies that have been listed by other members... these are some that I don't remember seeing in this thread... I could go on for quite a while... but I have to get up early, and have already stayed up too late. :)
