Nah. The worst naval film ever was the one the recruiter showed me! Only 13 more years to serve!!

Without a doubt, definitely Pearl Harbor.
I've never been so disappointed by a movie. I don't know what is worse, how awful the movie was, or how good it could have been, with all that support and money... I guess we'll never know.

how about his one...I think it was called "the mary ann" about a b-17 that was part of the group that hit hawaii on dec 7th...I know i know this was an airplane but the last scene was orrible half the the jap navy went under...man when i was a little kid I 8 years old I loved this movie.This movie was allied propaganda at it's worst.There was also another movie about an Italain sub,but I don't remember the name an that sub commander was kretschmer, prien,shultze,mohr,guggenberger,topp...etc rolled into one

I think you mean Air Force by Howard Hawks. It was propaganda alright, and not even good propaganda. The anti-Japanese stuff seemed over the top as it is, but the way that they had a "big moment" (like a take-off) every few minutes really drove home how much a booster this flick was meant to be. Action in the North Atlantic was also a war movie, but handled its subject more deftly.

I was spoiled for that scene by the guy in Saving Private Ryan who takes a bullet through his helmet and lives, and before he's had a few seconds to gloat about how cool that was, takes a second bullet through his forehead. This idiot across the aisle from me took his kids to see this movie, and they laughed like crazy.

The worst one I ever saw was definately Pearl Harbor. Good graphics with an absolute cheese storyline. Remind me, how did they manage to drag Harnett's body accross rat and snake and lizard infested, swamp riddled, searing heat and humidity China? A miracle one of the starving soldiers didn't grab it and drag it off into the woods to eat it.

What about Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammer? I just got remined how bad it was when it ran on local TV here the other night. Fair enough it wasn't trying to be serious, but even as a spoof it was pretty lame!

HEY!....... I like that movie

You mean Down Periscope? I was intrigued because it had a great premise, one that was actually timely - the US Navy needs to train against diesel-electric subs because of the proliferation of surplus Russian boats. They could have done it as a serious movie with funny sides - they could have even pitched it that way to the Hollywood execs: Can you see it - "Hunt for Red October" meets "The Dirty Dozen". DP actually resembles that legendary flick in many ways - take a bunch of losers, give them a task they can't possibly accomplush and lo and behold, they pull it off. Now that we've actually had DP, who knows when Hollywood might get around to a decent flick that capitalizes on that idea.

By then you've already seen P-40's zoom around like X-Wing fighters, so you're sense of disbelief has already been suspended, detained, flogged and left for dead.

This film is quite funny, but not nearly a serious movie about subs (for example, a WWII american submarine against a modern nuke...)

YES !!! Pearl Harbor

I have never seen like these ridiculous movie ever !!!

If this movie taken in 1940s , it is OK. I can understand.
But it has taken in 2001 !!!
Most of Japanese who have saw this movie (of course including me)
felt ridiculous


I cant stop laughing when admiral Yamamoto planning
to attack pearl harbor.Because they have discussed in out side pool with shrine gate (!!!)
even it is secret .hahahaha

We should see not pearl harbor but Tora Tora Tora !!!!

[The Noob]

Pearl Harbor is not only the worst naval film, but TEH WORST FILM EVER!

Down Persicope was quite funny, i like it.
