I concur with Dogfish. Though fictional and very loosely based on an actual event, I found The Hunt For Red October to be a very good movie. I too own a copy on DVD. As far as realism, well, one aspect of realism, I liked Das Boot. Especially since, when it first showed in theaters, it gave a different perspective than what I had been previously experiencing or had learned.
On the other hand, I thought U-571 was rubbish, sheep dip, but what do I know?
