How about Lorelei, the Witch of the Pacific, or "Sea without Exit",..
both japanese submarine movies..really well done.

Sea without Exit is about the Kaiten suicide torpedoes... worth watching

WTF, no Run Silent Run Deep?! That movie was excellent in portraying the entire attack procedure for US boats. And it had ten times more in-the-sub action than Das Boot.

I almost forgot it was made by Holywood. Or wait.. Hwood was actually making good movies back then. Anyone remember "The Young Lions" or "The Seventh Cross"? And what about "Cruel Sea"?

Run Silen Run Deep is my favorite sub movie. No CGI, just great looking models, real sub shots.
