Submarine movies, yay or nay?

What say you?

I prefer to watch movies in a cinema, not underwater wearing breathing apparatus.

The first movie I saw about a submarine was:

"When I was a kid, I was the victim of the most vicious propaganda. People told me that money wasn't everything and I believed it. Then I found out that the people that were telling me that money wasn't everything were the people who had a lot of money. Now there are two ways you can get money. You can steal it, or you can marry it."

-Lt. Nicholas Holden
( Tony Curtis )
"Operation Petticoat" ( 1959 )
Screenplay by Paul King and Joseph Stone

Das Boot (especially this one)

The full, uncut version is fantastic. Even the 2 hour film release is bloody good, though.

The almost 5 hour version of this is just awesome.

My favorite submarine movie is "Gray Lady Down" followed closely by "U-571". But, most all submarine movies are pretty good

There are movies about submissive marines?
That just seems wrong.

When I was a kid, there was a kewl submarine movie called Ice Station Zebra.

Das Boat & Hunt for Red October get my vote.

My fav scene from the movie

Captain: "Music is what we need. Think our Hitler Youth leader will put on a record for us? The Tipperary song if you've no Objections".
<the officers begin to laugh as the song begins to play, cut to crew quarters > A crewmember comments upon hearing the song "Hey now we're in the Royal Navy". Everyone begins to sing along.

There is a movie titled "Below"
It was poorly promoted and only made about 400,000 at the box office.
Hardly anyone has seen it.
It's one of the best sub movies I've seen.
Highly entertaining and realistic.
Mystery/scifi thriller.

Good anime, adapted from a stellar manga. Get it, get it.

The Silent Service

The Silent Service (Japanese: 沈黙の艦隊 Hepburn: Chinmoku no Kantai) is a manga series written and illustrated by Kaiji Kawaguchi. It was published in Kodansha's Weekly Morning manga magazine from 1988 to 1996 and collected in 32 tankōbon volumes. The series was adapted into an anime TV special and OVA series by Sunrise. The first two episodes of the anime were later spliced together and released in North America as a single volume. The rest of the series remained untranslated, though excerpts of the manga were published in Frederick Schodt's Dreamland Japan, however.

The manga won the Kodansha Manga Award for general manga in 1990.

Plot

During the Cold War, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force jointly developed a nuclear submarine with the United States Navy. On its maiden voyage, the captain of the submarine declares the submarine to be an independent state, "Yamato". The American navy pursues "Yamato", repeatedly failing to capture or destroy the rogue submarine.[1]

Jon Bon Jovi was in U-571 and his character ended up getting decapitated.

Haha... Submarines = something long, hard, and full of seamen. Who doesn't like that? HahaKant
