The Enemy Below

Pleasantly surprised with this one--though it's about a US Destroyer, attacking U-boats. Lots of cat and mouse--a real classic.

I think a remake of Run Silent Run Deep would be good except this time it should stick more closely to the book. IIRC the film was only very loosely based on Beach's book....pretty much the title and thats it!

But seriously....they could do a very good job with the effects available now, make it into an American Das Boot, plenty of gritty action and no punches pulled. Maybe somebody like Ridley Scott to direct?

Now, call me a prude if you want, but I don't think it's good policy for the Navy to hand over a billion-dollar piece of equipment to a man who has "Welcome Aboard" tattooed on his penis.
