Torpedo Run with Glen Ford, good technicolor look inside late war fleet boats even if the plot is dated.

Destination Tokyo: Propaganda for sure, but has a good early war Gato model in it, and nice for context since it was made during the war. It also captures national emotion and feelings during the pacific war and is refreshingly unapologetic.

Ice Station Zebra: Dated, very late 60's, but fun to watch and one of the rare ones set in the cold war.

Bedford Incident: Sidney Poitier, good thriller, cold war, nice suspense being from the destroyer's perspective.

Father Goose: Not so much a sub story till the end when Cary Grant et. Al. get picked up by one, but amusing, good story, and good early WWII setting with the Imperial Japanese, coast watchers, and Trevor Howard and the Royal Australian Navy.
