Das Boot [1981]: Tuesday November 10th

Widely considered the greatest submarine film ever made, Das Boot offers an agonizingly realistic, claustrophobic look at warfare. Unlike typical Hollywood war movies, it doesn’t glorify combat; rather, it humanizes the crew, forcing you to empathize with them regardless of their uniform. Das Boot is seen as one of the greatest German films ever made and was nominated for six Academy Awards, including for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for director Wolfgang Petersen.
