My preferred movie is without any doubt K-19. At least in the movie (I didn't yet read the books) you don't see:

1. People changing theyr mind three times (Weps - Crimson Tide)
2. Ensigns refuse orders several times without consequences (Crimson Tide)
3. A retarded Commander who doesn't know the basics of fire control and generally has no clue (THFRO)
4. Commanders that disregard obvious security procedures (Crimson Tide, and the other movie with the nuclear explosion in Pyonyang)
7. Sub evading an attack driving trought scrapped ships... (Pyonyang movie)
8. CIA Analyst knowing a russian commander better than is own mates (THFRO)
X. There are other secundary things i don't remember right now


Regarding your question, about superstition, in K-19 there's
1. the scene where the Champagne bottle doesnt crunch on the hull. "this ship is cursed".
2. the guy that writes a letter to his GF in case he would die
3. "Religious signs 'r forbidden aboard"
