ORIGINAL: crsutton I watch "Platoon" just about every year. "Saving Private Ryan" and BOB as well. "Master and Commander" was brilliant in every aspect. Don't know what you mean really. I will say this. "Das Boot" was made before CGI and you got to appreciate great films that were done pre CGI. I am getting a little tired of CGI. Just watching that little snippet reminds me that I need to watch it again....soon. So, thanks for the reminder. Oh, BTW, I just watched Mad Max 2-The Road Warrior. Have not seen it in 20 years. Found it by accident on the web. Holy Cow is that a great movie. Amazing stunts w/o CGI and a good story. Saving private Ryan, band of brothers are good but they just don't match what I've got out of Das Boot for some reason. First the boredom of patrol, then the suspense of attack and the horror of nearly sinking... It gives insight into a world that we (or most of us) do not have to experience.. Imaging what it was like to be in that U-boat gave me the creeps...
