You can smell the diesel fuel
A movie shot so well, you can smell the diesel fuel... and the unwashed soldiers. Does not make war romantic, makes it dirty, frightening and tragic. Extremely well directed movie.

Great film of men under contant stress of war
One of the greatest of World War II movies and certainly the best and most realistic submarine films ever, "Das Boot" is also an amazing technical feat also. The cramped, dank & claustrophobic setting of a WWII German U-boat is completely realized in the set design and Petersen's direction of the camera and great ensemble. Jurgen Prochnow gives a incisive performance as the beleaguered Captain. The PQ & AQ are very good, if not great. This was originally a mini-series for German TV (catch to full thing if you can.) I justwish that there were more extras.

War film with a twist
I think this is an excellent movie. It shows some of the dangers and hardships of submariners...only this film shows it from the German side in WWII. It struck me that whatever side they were fighting for, the men faced similar obstacles. It was also a real insight to life on a submarine during wartime. I know that U.S. servicemen faced the same things. People are the same all over is what I took from this film.

Best war movie ever
I defy anyone who sees this movie on the big screen to not be completely captivated and emotionally drained by the end. This movie hardly needs subtitles. The cinematography is superb, so much so that you forget you are in a theater watching it. You feel the claustrophobia, smell the sweat, smell the fear, feel the relief and elation and then the utter senselessness of it all. Probably the best movie I've ever seen. Certainly the best war movie ever made.
