Das Boot.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I will also vote for the Boot.  That makes it 6.  One more and someone can nominate.

Sink the Bismarck! over The Dam Busters (which is less the odd man out of this collection than Platoon, but it is more the lesser-known film like StB).
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

The documentary also talked about how much money they can get for a casting of their naughty bits.  I think it was in the range of 30K.

I'm starting to doubt you'll find 7 people who have seen those films.

It's coming up on 24 hours since the last yes vote for Bismark.

The time stamp is central time, right?
