Default *Ugh* I got to watch most of "Das BOOT"last night.

That is one mezmorizing film! Too abcd it came on way late last
night, and I could only get half way though it before I had to sack
out. Life on a German U-boat. Oh, man. I had to shut it off right
when the crew was at their christmas lunch reception in Spain. I wish
I'd recorded it. I'll eventually get to see the rest of it though.

Great movie!

It is spectacular on a good, surround sound system playing in DTS. With a
large subwoofer and decent speakers, the depth charge explosions and sounds
of water running down the walls of your room gives you goosebumps.

That's right: there were no spectacular movies prior to the advent of
overblown consumer electronics. :)

Best seen in a good movie theater with a decent sound system...... unless
you have your own home theater set-up.
I saw it when it first came out... quite a few years ago.

I didn't say that. Advancements in audio systems simply add to the
enjoyment of a spectacular movie.
If you enjoy watching fuzzy films with audio from a 3-inch speaker, have a
ball. Your new Mac will do a good job.

it gives you an good insight on human nature too. I thought it was
interesting that when they hit the convoy and the captain and crew
were taking a pridful grin and saying , "hear those bulkheads
crumble?" Even though doing their job, they had the attitude of being
the true victors in the fight., then come the destroyers and sub
chasers throwing depth charges over baord. Then you see the anger from
the captain;"Those pigs! Those dirty SWINE!" Like, you're not
supposed to do that, you're picking on us!"

Anyhow thats how I saw it.

Hollywood license? I don't see how anyone could survive any type of a
fire on a Uboat, especially like the one they had, besides consuming
most of the limited suply of oxygen, the smoke would be the worst. But
for some odd reason, it was a "clean" fire. go figure.

Then there was the food hanging every where. May as well, I suppose.
