EVERYBODY POSTING ON THIS PAGE: You really ought to read the whole thread. Most of the movies you are listing have already been mentioned. :sunny:

Here's a movie I haven't seen listed on this thread: "Torpedo Bay". It stars James Mason as an RN destroyer captain who pursues and damages an Italian sub. The sub captain manages to make it to the neutral port of Tangiers with the destroyer close behind. The authorities in Tangiers will only allow the sub to remain in port for a limited time after which the sub must leave and then become a target of the destroyer. The two captains form a truce and the rest of the film is comprised of the sub captain trying to make surreptitious repair and the destroyer captain trying to block his efforts on orders of British Intelligence. Of course there is a female character to throw in a bit of a love triangle subplot, but mainly it is about the two captains. The ending is a bit of a surprise and is reminiscent of "Enemy Below". I found a copy of this movie in VHS several years ago at a video store that was chucking all its tapes in favor of DVD. I don't believe it is available on DVD, so if anyone has information on a DVD release, it would be appreciated.

WOW! :o

I vaguely remember hearing the title, but I've never known anything about it. I could find no evidence of a DVD release either, but it certainly looks interesting.

burn the heretic!!!!!

:)

I thought this movie was unwatchable:shifty:, for probabley the same reasons SS has.

The scene that just killed me was when Vicksburg(?) was being shelled during some Confederate party(?), so what do the town folk do during a bombardment? They naturally sing patriotic confederate songs and dance....:har:

Note to Ted, keep away from Civil War movies, as you ruin them:yeah:.

Note to Hollywood producers/directors, the Hunley does not equal a deep diving submarine.

I only think I made it half way through that movie before the channel got changed.

Bravo sir:yeah:. I can't stand the JW movies with the side love plot:shifty:.

I remember, there was this one Australian TV movie from 2000 called On the Beach; it was a remake of the old 1950s movie of the same name.

Basically, it's about a Los Angeles-class SSN, (688i I believe), in 2006 that survives World War III between the PRC and USA. Pretty decent, although there are many factual errors up the ass (arse). Still, it's worth a watch, even with the bad American accents. Oh, and did I mention it has Armand Assante in it? :D

But the original has Gregory Peck in it, which I believe qualifies as an Epic Win FTW. :D

She took the cork out of the bottle. It was ten past ten. She said ernestly, Dwight, if you're on your way already, wait for me.

Then she put the tablets in her mouth and swallowed them down with a mouthful of brandy, sitting behind the wheel of her big car.

So ends Nevil Shute's book, On the Beach.

John Paul Jones.

Only saw it in the theater when it was released, so I don't remember if it was any good.

The Key.

Again I saw it as a kid and don't remember much, so who knows?

The Winds of War and War and Rememberance TV mini-series (both books are worth reading too.)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085112/
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096725/

Not necessarily a dedicated WW2 naval drama, the story revolves around Navy Commander Victor "Pug" Henry (Robert Mitchum), and his son Byron Henry (a sub commander) during WW2 and takes on a far bigger scope.

The first series begins before WW2 and leads up to the attack on Pearl Harbor, then continues in the second series.

Thankyou all for who posted here, you've now given me something to watch for the rest of the night :D

:rotfl2:

Usually I give people grief for resurrecting old threads, but your comment was worth it. :rock:

Did anyone mention "We Dive at Dawn" : A classic from the UK?

Plus, it's available free streaming from the Internet Archives:

In a related note: The archive has over 4,000 videogame videos, only one of which is "Aces of the Deep", and none of the "Silent Hunter" series!

My favourite WWII naval films:

"We dive at dawn"
"The cruel sea"
"Above us, the waves"
"Tora! Tora! Tora!"
"Sink the Bismark!"
"The battle of the River Plate"
