Today we lost Wolfgang Peterson, a brilliant director who has helmed cinematic classes for over half a century. Peterson was known stateside for his blockbuster films, but Peterson was never a one-note director, telling rich and ambitious stories across genres. The German-born director saw great success in his homeland and successfully managed to break into Hollywood because of it. As a way to pay tribute to this fantastic filmmaker and to honor the body of work he's left behind for us to cherish, here are 5 of Wolfgang Petersen's most brilliant movies, and where you can watch them.
The Boat (Das Boot)
Known as "Das Boot" in Europe, Peterson crafted one of the greatest war films of all time with "The Boat." The 1981 German-language film centers on the crew of a submarine during World War II, forced to co-exist in cramped quarters on what we know will be a fruitless endeavor.
