If you don't already have it, then the six-hour Das Boot is a must, even though it is a touch on the expensive side (circa $40). That, truly, is the best submarine movie ever. All the others are good, too (with the obvious exception of U-571).

My other favorites include:

Run Silent, Run Deep
Hellcats of the Navy
Operation Pacific
Crash Dive

For books, I just finished "Iron Coffins". Fantastic book. Highly reccomended.

Default The Bedford Incident

I have finally learned to appreciate this movie, "The Bedford Incident". It is about a russian diesel boat and an american surface ship, playing chicken in the north atlantic.

Yes, an excellent movie. The book (Bedford Incident) is also a 'must read'. (The book's ending is quite different from the film's, btw).
