What year was that film from?

It was shown on Danish national TV when I was young, but I can't remember for sure how old i was.

A few scenes are still clear in my memory and I think I must have been about 8-10 when I first saw it.

Grinbird, Santa and Danish help me out here, you are all older than me; when was it shown?

As a side not I remember my elder brothers rented "Midway" at about same period. I think my interest for WWII came mainly from those two films.

Das Boot came out 1982 Snefens

I wish they'd put the FULL 3 movies Duckwing mentioned on DVD, the one currently available is the shortened edition that was shown in cinemas with some additional scenes...

But the LONG (6-7 hours total) tv version REALLY rocks.

Snefens, I believe I was 12 or 13 when I saw it, and that was 13 years ago or so.

It was first released as a movie back in '81 if I'm not entirely mistaken.

I got a VHS original copy I got cheaply - director's cut.

This film is probably the best film I've ever seen.

The only thing Hollywood has done that comes close would be Aliens  . Those marines are sooo cool

I think the ocean was overmodeled.

Wasn't it called Stalingrad or something like that? Very disturbing movie.
