That’s it – “If he fires one, I’ll fire one” ….”Firing one Sir”.:eek:

I recently had the chance to go aboard U-505 in the Chicago museum of Science and Industry, was an excellent exhibit but I think they could have gone into more detail about the vessel and life on it rather than just the story of how it was captured.
Inspired me to re-watch Das Boot when I got home anyway! 😀
So what are everyone else’s favourite Submarine movies?
Is U-505 the one that the Americans captured to break the enigma code and so win the war !?:diablo:
Has to be “Das Boot”, “Red October” for me, and although IIRC you never actually see the sub, the Richard Widmark movie where they are stalking a Soviet sub around the ice pack. “Danno” from “Hawaii 5 O” fires a missle at the end.

Same goes, hear hear and very well said.

We have achieved longer check in times, highly suspicious airport security staff and a far less enjoyable experience as air travellers. Commercial aviation is in turmoil now, flying was something that I used to looked forward to, but has now become something to be endured. 😮
I was travelling with a guy wearing a “Winchester Tavern” shirt from Shaun Of The Dead, they made him take it off and turn it inside out in case it alarmed somebody……… FFS 😮 – This at the same place where you can carry a 1 litre Starbucks cup through without it being x-rayed…. I’m sure Mr International terrorist could get a new, none metalic handgun stripped down into a few cups.
And while I’m on it, if the shoe bomber had just poured a litre of duty free brandy overhimself and tried to light it………..but then again there is money to be made (still) on duty free (tax free now?) shopping.

Great fillum, agreed.
It’s a sign of a good movie, you see something new years after. I didn’t notice the siamese twins for years either.:D
