DAS BOOT (ORIGINAL UNCUT MINI SERIES) (1981)
Certification12 Our Rating

The original television series version following the crew of a German WW2 U-Boat as they live together, hunt Allied shipping and are preyed on themselves. The tension, claustrophobia and their fear leap out of the screen and totally avoids any sense of nationalism in what would have been fatal for this superb production.
Awesome.
