Best submarine movies

[50nstillhifi]

"Crimson Tide".. although I know there would never be such a conflict of command, on any naval vessel in the U.S. Navy.

But the drama was second to none : )

Not your average "submarine"...

Fantastic Voyage was on the TCM channel this past weekend. I remember seeing at the local
theatre as a kid.

The only way I like to watch Das Boot is listening to
the German language while reading the English sub-
titles in the Director's cut version.

I can't believe this one hasn't been mentioned yet.

The Enemy Below (1957) Robert Mitchem and kurt Jurgens.

Not about hatred or seeking revenge .. just two professional warriors who face off in a duel (more like chess game) to the death.

 

[Grenadeslio]

the disaster movie craze even went here

I have a hard time with most of them (100% me). 23yrs in the Navy, with quite a few “rides” on boats and ships I have a hard time getting past the “that’s not a thing” or “that’s BS” that every one of them have.

All that said if I had to pick one (I have seen all those mentioned, many multiple times) I would have to pick Das Boat and U-571.

I get that and that is why I said it’s me

But many do try and be realistic… it’s the details that they eff up horribly… so it’s 100% my military OCD

The only one I've seen. U-571. Enjoyed it! especially when the depth charges hit! shakes the room.

Bear in mind that "U-571" was a compilation of several sub events.

aren't ALL movies a compilation of events lol

Note: I get what you're saying, just jerking your chain

 

[Quadman2]

Point taken...this one movie was an assemble of several different subs and their events during the Atlantic Theatre during WWII.

Hope I "flushed" out my meaning now, eh?

Then there's the recent depiction of the convoy vs wolf pack in "Greyhound" (2020) Tom Hanks effort. I thought it was well done. Had to watch it twice to decipher the navy talk.

What surprized me was the degree of sophistication of sonar even during those times and how rapidly electronics were changing due to the extreme need.

That was a very good movie; tight and focused, no messing around.

I think this movie is a good light hearted submarine based comedy effort, enough to have bought it yrs. ago on BR.

In fact, I`ll select it for tonight`s A/V entertainment..
Thank you for triggering my 2 remaining braincells to select it, Gadget 73, Sir. as it`s been a while since I viewed it.

War time needs intensely driven technology innovations ! ^^^

I`m still waiting for the physical disc to be released to purchase, if ever !
Don`t stream, and don`t do the "rotten apple" anything ever !

May never ever able to view in my life !
