Das Boot I just looked it up and I had given it a 9, and have seen it twice. Very powerful film. In fact most submarine movies tend to be great. I mentioned earlier most movies from Tom Clancy books, Hunt for Red October is one, and also another submarine movie Crimson Tide is excellent.
Das Bot made me think of The Beast (1988), sometimes called The Beast of War. Totally different than a submarine, it's about a Russian tank fighting in Afghanistan. The similarity is they're not American military, they're confined to a small space, very small tank, and it's kind of us against them being outnumbered. The guerilla fighters in the desert. It's very compelling and somewhat like the movie 1917, in the fact as soon as they get out of one predicament they're into another.
I just saw on Directv that The Beast will be on the Sony Movie Channel Monday June 22 at 12:30pm.
