Das Boot was released in the US on this day in 1982.
Did you know the U-Boat that chases down the Bantu Wind in Raiders of the Lost Ark is the same one from 'Das Boot? Both movies were filming in the same area so Spielberg was able to 'borrow' U-Boat 26 for the scene. – Mike pic.twitter.com/qilrhshpws

Semi-Similar but close enough that I can brag – the sailing ship that Cruise and Pitt escape on early in Interview with A Vampire is a working tall ship based in Philadelphia named Gazella and I had the honor and privilege to volunteer aboard her for several years and make a week long cruise aboard her from Baltimore back home during my will spent youth. She still gives tours and sails 30 years on.

Oh, THAT must have been fun.
