Das Boot

I've got the Director's Cut on DVD and watched it over a couple of days while Mrs SFM was away with work! One of the best war (or anti-war) films ever made.
 
I remember watching it one Christmas with my family: brutal, tragic ending; titles roll; whole family sits in contemplative silence....except my gran who pipes up with, "well I'm glad they got them in the end."

When I told my German boss this story he couldn't stop laughing...

Made me lol as well.
 
It's Wolfgang Petersen's finest moment; he went off to the States and did loads of big sea based films (like a remake of the Poseidon adventure ffs), but none of them are a patch on this.
