10. "Das Boot" (1981)
World War II Movie Night has its first foreign-language film, and the first from the view of the Axis. A truly timeless classic, "Das Boot" is a high-mark of world cinema. A German U-Boat crew in the Battle of the Atlantic staves off boredom and claustrophobia, interspersed with moments of sheer terror and even guilt. The men aboard U-96 range from ardent Nazis to those critical of Hitler and the Reich, such as the no-nonsense captain. Mostly, though, the men try to avoid thinking about their dwindling chances of surviving the War... Asides include people being mean to journalists.
