I thought U-571 was entertaining enough if you go in with the understanding that it's not going to be technically realistic at all. Sure, it has Hollywood smeared all over it, which tends to ruin any film... but I thought it was bearable.
Do we have a comprehensive list of Sub movies anywhere? Maybe one for books, too? That would be something nice to have. Especially if people could comment on them. Maybe we could rate them for things like technical accuracy, entertainment value, acting, usefulness to subsimmers, etc. I found the book called "Submarine!" by Ned Beach to be extremely helpful to learning sub tactics.
I just read a book called "All Hands Below" about the USS Scorpion incident. It was very good, and I had never heard of the book until I saw it in the airport 2 days ago (in Bangkok of all places.)
