Good Movie to watch for SH4

[emtmedic005]

Everyone should watch the movie, Run Silent, Run Deep.
A great movie that looks at the lives of American Sailors in American subs.

My dad gave me his copy, its up there next to Das Boot.

Would anyone care to share what they thought of the movie?

[Morts]

also watch "Torpedo Run"
great movie

Everyone should watch the movie, Run Silent, Run Deep.
its up there next to Das Boot. I appreciate a quality classic film, and really enjoyed Run Silent, Run Deep. As much as I like it, I can't say I'd put it up there with Das Boot. Das Boot is simply in a league of it's own. The fact that Run Silent, Run Deep was filmed back in 1958 has nothing to do with it either. Heck, one of my all time favorite films is from 1948.

Still, Run Silent, Run Deep is a very good film.

In the Sub & Naval Books, Films and Models Forum, there's a thread on Your Top Sub Movies you may want to look at:

Are any of you guys old enough to remember the series on TV, " The Silent Service"? It was probably actually a sort of documentary. They always started the show with the sub coming up out of the water at flank speed. This show was around in the late 50's, early 60's in black and white. It actually caused me to join the Navy and become a submariner.

The Sands of Iwo Jima...awesome John Wayne flick

[flintlock]

Letters from Iwo Jima
Flags of our Fathers
The Great Raid
Bataan
Back to Bataan
Mr. Roberts
The Frogmen
Operation Petticoat
The Wackiest Ship in the Army
Father Goose
Pearl Harbor (Tora, Tora, Tora is much better)
The Thin Red Line
Objective Burma
Windtalkers
In Harm's Way
Too Late The Hero
U-571 (ducks for cover -- c'mon, it still counts)
The Caine Mutiny (sorta counts - great movie anyway)

Okay, this one's solely based in the Atlantic, but it's so good I have to break the rules and mention it - The Cruel Sea (great British classic).

The Wackiest Ship in the Army


Is that the one were they paint the sub pink? If not does anyone know the name of that film? Seems a distant memory from my youth.

Well--if prizes are being handed out--count me in too!!! I loved that show!!! :rock:

FYI--Only movie that accurately depicts the Sound of depth charges is U-571. Otherwise, that flick is--well--challenged ;) .

[Boris]

How do you know it sounds accurate?

You've heard depth charges? Wow! I never have, so I guess I have to believe you.

[Finback]

My father has. ;)

[flintlock]

Oh there's got to be an interesting story there! Can you share it with us, Finback? I'd love to hear it.

[Finback]

More to come. Suffice it for now to say he heard over 300 from far away to way too close. Yes, they do rock the boat. ;)

[flintlock]

More to come.
Excellent! Just don't forget your subsim friends and remember to share a few snippets before you publish the book.

;)

[Finback]

You ARE ALL at the top of my list.
