I know what they say about different strokes and everyone having different opinions, but just...

HOW DO PEOPLE LIKE U-571

Just... does not compute. I'd concede it being a good throwaway hollywood flick to chow some popcorn to but, best sub film? Really?

My own list

1. Das Boot
2. K-19 Widowmaker (I watched it dubbed into Russian... and was pretty much shocked how good Ford's portrayal of a Russian officer is. IMO the only Hollywood actor who can play a Russian character well.)
3. Operation Petticoat (a bit ridiculous but fun!)
4. Run Silent, Run Deep
5. The Hunt for Red October (not as convincing at portraying Russians, but still quite good!)
