Advantages: The best submarine drama to date Disadvantages: Very long
It was only after watching my newly acquired copy of U-571 the other day that prompted me to dust-off my DVD of Das Boot (Director’s Cut) and give it another look.
In the past, this movie has been seen in several formats. Serialised on BBC2 and in standard movie length being two of them.
The DVD version runs for 200 minutes – and that’s just the movie! I suspect that this is closer in length to the TV mini-series in content than the normal movie.
The advantage of the DVD format, is that you can hear the soundtrack dubbed into English, or for the purist, in German with or without English* subtitles, which is, of course, much closer to the original. Tip – If you speak any German, see if you can spot the points where the somewhat primmer English subtitles deviate from the more lavatorial German dialogue ...

Advantages: Fantastic, spiritually uplifting music Disadvantages: None
I was introduced to the music of Krishna Das by my wife. And God bless her for that, says I! For Krishna Das is well, he just IS.
Live on Earth is a great introduction to the music of Krishna Das. Krishna Das is an American by birth, and a Hindu. By conviction.
His music is a wonderful exploration and celebration of his faith, that of the Hindu.
To listen to the music of Krishna Das is to invite a very special experience into one's very soul.
Live on Earth is a two CD release and contains a total of 14 tracks.
The tracks on CD 1 are:
Radhe Shyam
Samadhi Sita Ram
Shri Guru Charanam
Three Rivers Hare Krishna
Hanuman Puja
Hanuman Chaleesa
Sita Ram
Jaya Bhagavan
On side 2 the tracks are
Devi Puja
Jaya Jagatambe
Mountain Hare Krishna
Namah Shivaya
Rama Bolo
Shri Krishna Govinda/Gopala
Each track is pure ...
Advantages: Best submarine film I've seen Disadvantages: German language (subtitles)
What can I say about this classic Wolfgang Petersen film? Well, I have to admit that knowing a smattering of German does help: it is subtitled, but you miss out on a lot by following that, since not every word is included. But don't let that put you off, this is *the* submarine film of all time. Forget 'U-571', forget 'Red October' or any of the others, Petersen's film gives the other side's view of WW2. Yes, all the creaking, the diving beyond maximum depth is there, but so is some superb characterization, some excellent (and genuine tension) and (how rare in a war film?) some humanity - when they are unable to pick up survivors from a sunken ship, for example.
'Das Boot' is available on video, but comes around every now again serialised on the BBC. See it. ...
