Well at least no one mentioned Crash Dive.

Yes, Steve, I know it has your S Boats in colour. :D

Forced to choose between watching U571 and Crash Dive, I would reluctantly choose U571. And I hate U571. :yep:

Ugh!!!! I watched that for about 15 minutes (right up until the one guy is on the train) and had to turn it off. I know its propaganda but didn't anyone seriously believe this stuff?

What stuff, :cool:

I vouch for Das Boot(what else :)), The Hunt of the Red October and K-13 which is while not a battle action ridden movie is trying to accurately depict a Soviet crew historical ordeal on that particular submarine.

That's it and down periscope for funny sub movie.

Surprised no one has mentioned Torpedo Run. Has to be one of my favourites.

Torpedo Run is also a good one!

One WWII sub movie I missed for a long time was Hellcats of the Navy.

Silly me, I thought it was a movie about WWII fighters, specifically the F6F. Then I noticed it in a store and I realized that I had neglected my Sub collection! :damn:

It is not bad. Any movie with Ronald Reagan has low expectations. But this one was not too bad.

Do you always post without bothering to read the thread first?

I never said otherwise. I keep it just for the boat footage unavailable anywhere else in the world.

Above Us The Waves, a superb John Mills film about a British submarine's mission to sink a German pocket battleship. While the technical details are generally very good, the real strength of the film lies in the well-drawn, sympathetically-realised characters. The crew and their personal lives are all depicted superbly without ever falling into the realm of soap opera.

It's on YouTube in its entirety:

Sadly, we just lost the Liberty Bell yesterday. She crashed on take-off and miraculously the pilot and 6 passengers walked away... ... then she burned. :wah:

Hehe... ... she said fap-worthy....

Yep. Sad news. We even have a thread about it.

Best submovie
 

The best sub movie of all time has got to be Das Boot, not the directors cut, but the full length uncut version.

Does "Run Silent, Run Deep" not warrant even an honorable mention? :O:
Operation Petticoat comes to mind...:DL

Ok, seriously...

The Hunt for Red October is still my favorite, mostly for sentimental reasons.
Das Boot is obvious, though I haven't watched it since video discs were state of the art.
I liked K-19, even if Ford did chew the scenery.
Down Periscope is a guilty pleasure.
Above Us, the Waves and Torpedo Run I'll have to check out.

And don't get me started on U-571 or Crimson Tide.

Cafepress, as well as doing Onkel Neal's wares, also do this splendid coaster for FK :nope:

Anyhoo... I bumped into a film title the other day, never heard of it before, not even on here, a German U-boat comedy called U-900

Anybody seen it (I'm assuming it's all in German!) Can't find much on it, a few minutes on youtube, an Independant.co.uk write-up (putting the boot into Das Boot), and it's in the imdb. Currently unavailable at Amazon.com, but that was listed with only German subtitles!

I dunno, I kinda like the old Seinfeld standby of "sponge-worthy." :O:

I've never seen Das Boot. A recent user review of it on IMDB doesn't give me a lot of hope:

Is it better than this guy suggests? :06:

:o You've been here half-a-decade and not seen Das Boot? :hmmm:


Marginally. Er, maybe a bit more than that then!

It's like asking 'does this game suit me?' or 'will I like this game?' in the SH5 side of this forum, only you will know if you think it's good or not. :DL

Methinks you just got pwned. :O:

Hey...show respect, and not shuffling the cards, :DL
