Perfect Storm is much closer to "Das Boot" than to AF1. In fact, "Storm" is at its best with the same kinds of "crew working against adversity" scenes that made "Das Boot." Both films convey the sense of confinement that you get in a "small" boat, a sense that is clearly missing from the other two of my favorite "sub" films: Run Silent, Run Deep and The Enemy Below. (I've spent quite a bit of time inside sailboats from 30 to 42 feet.)

Jurgen Prochnow ("der alte" in "Boot") would have made a better skipper for the Andrea Gail, but there is the matter of the German accent . . . Clooney's not great; but he's ok.
