Yeah, because they never made any movies about submarines. Das Boot, The Enemy Below, Gray Lady Down, HFRO, and Crimson Tide must be figments of my imagination... |
Das Boot, The Enemy Below and Crimson Tide hardly "glamorize" the submarine service. Das Boot was more of an Anti-War movie than a war movie, The Enemy Below is another Anti-War movie, and Crimson Tide is about a loony skipper wanting to start WWIII and a mutiny. With the exception of Das Boot, K-19 and THFRO all submarine movies from Hollywood in the past 25 years have either been incredibly bad or non-existent.
Once Hollywood gets is ass in gear and makes ‘Thunder Below’ in to a three hour masterpiece I might change my mind.
