Crimson Tide, much more realistic...?

OMG

No way. I mean, for starters: the moment the sub loses ULF comms, just as the AEM is coming in. The screens the radio operator is watching start to flash and what not. HILARIOUS. If there's no comms anymore, a message is (at best) stopped in mid-sentence. Your screens do not start flashing, nor do they try to imitate a graphic hoola-hoop. And then there's a load of other rubbish - AAARGH, I'm not even going into that. I'm still embarrassed about the 10 euro I spent to see that *cough* movie *cough* in the cinema.

Realistic movies - erm, try "Hostile Waters" or hell, "Hunt for Red October". Sure, there's some silly Hollywood-stuff in the latter but about 95% is pretty darn accurate.
