Your top submarine movies

Kapitan_Phillips · 01-26-07, 11:20 AM

I need some opinions from you guys (who better to ask) as I'm thinking of buying a few more submarine movies. Here's what I have so far:

Das Boot (Directors Cut and Uncut)
K-19 The Widowmaker Special Edition
Down Periscope
We Dive at Dawn
Above Us The Waves

Any ideas? I'd prefer something in colour first, and if anyone says *whisper*U-571*whisper* I'll castrate them.

1. Das Boot uncut version.
2. We Dive at Dawn.
3. Run Silent, Run Deep.
4. Up Perescope.
5. Above us the Waves.
6. Submarine X1.
7. Torpedo Run.
8. Morning Departure.
9. The Enemy Below.
10. Destination Tokyo.
11. The Hunt For Red October.
12. Crimson Tide.

and one more which is not exactly based on a sub but is sub related and is based on a true story is..... "The Sea Wolves". Another in the same category is "The Cruel Sea".

Classics every one......

K youtube´s link

but my favorite film is "Dass Boot"

Saw this old classic flick today and it reminded me of the cold war in the 1960's. The boat in the movie seemed to be an old Skate class attack sub and showed seemingly realistic under ice ops...at least for 1968. The inside shots seemed to be accurate and reminded me of my visit on the Nautilus. However, the noise coming from the engineering spaces was deafining, at least in the movie and led the way to much quieter boats. Can any of you sub veterans tell me what "injection temperature" means or was it a goof like the 1260' deep dive. Anyway, it makes for a good afternoon star studded flick.

Hunt for the red october. great novel, great movie. Sean connery does a great job in this film. i recomend for anyone who wants to see a fairly realistic asw scenario.

I never read the book, but I did enjoy the movie. Did you find the book better, perchance?

loynokid · 02-17-07, 10:50 AM

The Movie was more exciting and more suspensefull, but the book is good too. really i would say they are about the same. if i were you i would read the book too. i think you will like it
