6. Das Boot....

exciting in a tense way...

[Stuart G]

7. I have heard of "Das Boot" (1981) have not seen it. Maybe cause its the subject matter..

For those that do not know, Das Boot is about the events surrounding a German U Boat during WWII

I have heard it is a terrific and outstanding film..

[Aristus]

10. It has moments of excitement and pure terror.

When the submarine is enduring depth charging.

But for much of the film, especially the approximately four hour Director's cut DVD, it can be pretty monotonous. This was by design, to convey the months of sheer boredom the German submariners had to endure.

I still watch every second of the film several times per year, to keep my German skills up, and because it's a very interesting film.

8. Jaws, Die Hard, The Birds

Intolerance - when Robert Harron is to be hanged.
Ben-Hur - the chariot contest.
Speed - or any runaway train.
West Side Story - build up to the big rumble.
Way Down East - Lillian Gish on the piece of broken ice.
The Poseidon Adventure the ship overturns.
North by Northwest - the crop planes zero in on Cary Grant.
Potemkin - the Odessa Steps attack.
