Das Boot, right? Not the Lana Del Ray thingy...
Yes, Das Boot.
Sit in a bar - well after closing - nursing your beer, (or wine), whereupon some spirit in a bottle might also make a fleeting appearance, shot glasses lined up on the counter - with some German police or military colleagues, and - inevitably - at some stage, on such a night, - we might have been working together over the course of several months - someone will produce an iPod, and ask for it to be hooked up to the bar's speakers.
That is when we hear "Das Boot", and a low voiced discussion as to its merits, - script, acting, historical authenticity, production values, music - will ensue before migrating to other, even more interesting - but related - topics.
I have lost count of the number of German colleagues who told me that this is their favourite movie of all time.
