Das Boot (1981)

Director: Wolfgang Petersen
Writers:   Lothar G.Buchheim, Wolfgang Petersen
Cast:       Jurgen Prochnow, Herbert Gronemeyer, Klaus Wennamann
Language: German

The claustrophobic world of a WWII German U-boat; boredom, filth, and sheer terror.

It is an amazing film with a running time of close to four hours and trust me, you won't be bored one bit. It doesn't matter that the story is about a German U Boat, you will be rooting for the captain and his crew. The film uses a steady cam like shot for the movement of crew inside the boat which gives it a very real feel for us. One of the best films of all time.

Rating: 5/5
