You could remake Das Boot. The original is not a great movie. (I hear the screams of outrage) Das Boot was not shot as a movie, it was shot as a mini-series. It is too long and too slowly paced for a movie. When it was re-edited into movie length, it lost a lot. It needs to be re-written as a movie to make it as a theatratical release. And if you want it to be a success in the US, it has to be shot in English. Americans don\'t like dubbed films and dispise subtitles.</HTML>
