Just watched the whole thing recently. Gritty and well worth a watch but I'm not staying up for it tonight

Ziggy · 4 Jan 2010 at 02:25

I've got the uncut version on DVD (4 hours 42 minutes) but I haven't got round to watching it yet.

If you're interested in the the UBoat War, a good book is Enigma: The Battle for the Code (Hugh Sebag-Montifiore) and the (2001) movie Engima. Which is more a fictional spy drama but still a good story IMO.

Don't make the mistake of buying the dubbed version either. its terrible. you have to get the full thing and make sure its in German with subtitles.

Classic tv.

The Boat

Saw it years ago & it is still one of my fave mini series ever.

Need to watch it again sometime soon

Thanks for the reminder, must watch the director’s cut again, it’s excellent viewing.

Isn't it actually much, much longer than this? It was on TV sometime in the mid 90s and I skipped my rubbish Judo classes to stay home at watch this.

It was 1 hour a week for more than a month.

You know the truth! I did German A-Level so I have it in German language with English subtitles so I can try and "learn" what they are saying and occasionally recognise some words.

I remember it being rather long too, the 90's mine series that is.

Fantastic

No, just checked.

Could have been split into six 47 minute shows with adverts?

My Mum thinks this too. She loved it and hates the copies I've bought because they aren't long enough.

Ads on BBC2? Unlikely.

It was on sometime between 1988 and 1991 first time around (because I remember where I was living when I watched it). It was (AFAIK) six fifty-minute episodes. It probably seemed longer because of how (intentionally) slow the first two episodes were.

It must have been on again. I was in Year 6 or 7 when I was doing judo on a Wednesday evening which means I must have seen it in 1995/1996 or maybe 1997.

tntcoder · 4 Jan 2010 at 19:56

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081834/ is that the one? or is it the 1981 version?

Shall have to give it a watch

It has been shown through in it's entirety at least twice since, the most recent in Christmas about 2000.

I might pick this up on DVD. I remember watching it with my dad as a kid in the late 80's on BBC2. He let me stay up late (9pm

) so I could watch it.

Awesome film making and acting.

On a side note does anyone remember the early 90's dance mix of Das Boot? I think it was a hit in the charts.

One of the films I'm watching at the mo. Seems fairly good, haven't seen that much of it yet.
