I'll have to look up Torpedo Run now

Re: a couple other movies commented on herein ...

U-571 -- c'mon, it's not all that bad. sure, they take SERIOUS liberties with history, but aside from that it's a well-done movie.

Below -- I rather enjoyed this one, tho I wouldn't say it's a "good" movie. Sure, it's not particularly accurate, but then it's not a "straight" sub movie. It's REALLY a horror/thriller that just so happens to take place on a sub. A naval ghost story, if you will, and IMHO it does that rather well.

In Enemy Hands -- OK, this one certainly IS a stinker. W.H.Macy's performance even gets dragged down by those around him. The plot itself has potential I think -- I mean, an outbreak of meningitis on a submarine? Yeah, there's potential there. Utterly fails in acting and directing tho. I couldn't finish it, but I sure tried.

YAY movies
