Watched it again recently — still great. Alec Baldwin is a great Jack Ryan. It's such different role than what he's become known for since.


Now watch the uncut version of Das Boot undubbed (5hr8m long).


/me remorsefully remembers the cute German girl who asked him if he wanted to go see it with her. Decades later, it occurred to me that she liked me. Oh, well, story of my life!


The 5 hour uncut Das Boot is an amazing first date.


Here is your chance to have a similar experience if you're in NY: https://www.moma.org/calendar/exhibitions/5746.


wow lol, the normal version is already 2 and a half hours and kind of a slog for something the author of the source book described as a "cheap, shallow American action flick" and a "contemporary German propaganda newsreel from World War II"

you must be blessed with a very high level of masochism to want to read subtitles for 5 hours


A 5-hour movie is long, but not that long for people used to binge-watching TV shows. And I'd argue that watching modern productions without subtitles is a clearer indication of masochism. Too many actors just mumble their lines. If you care about the dialogue, you either have to use subtitles or concentrate and remain alert all the time.


I only wish it was longer. Also I can't stand dubs!


> 5hr8m long

pass
