Ok part of the War genre. I love all war movies, but have found sub movies fascinating. My favs so far are:

1) Crimson tide
2) Das Boot
3) U-571
4) Hunt for Red October
5) K-19 was ok
6) Down periscope. Funny as hell
7) Hostile waters

I heard "the Last U-boat" was good but cannot find it. Any other sub movies that are worthy of watching. I know the above list are current.
 
No contest.

Who needs the plastic world of CGI.


Run Silent, Run Deep (1958)

Robert Wise, Clark Gable, Burt Lancaster, Jack Warden, Brad
Dexter, Don Rickles, Nick Cravat, Joe Maross, Mary LaRoche, Eddie Foy III, ...

Damn it, pookie...you beat me to it.
The classic Run Silent, Run Deep is the hands down winner!

I would put Red October second...

and I also always liked

Run Silent, Run Deep was also one of the greatest adult films ever.... I actually just made that up, and it was a shameless, shamless joke.

Also, Morituri, while not exactly a sub film, still rules.

As an aside, I dig how the new Battlestar Galactica feels like a sub show, instead of a battleship show. It rules.
 
Hey, what about Operation Petticoat?

Just kidding...

I do think The Enemy Below should be considered here though. Great film.
 
"Das Boot" is my favorite. I understand that submariner's consider this to be the most realisitic portrayal of life under the sea.

Hands down "Hunt for Red October"

I seem to remember that U-275 was a decent movie. Can't recall enough of it to make a judgement though. Maybe I'll rent it again this week.
 
Das Boot (Hands down. Period)
Hunt for Red October

Crimson Tide is on my Do Not Like List because they had three possible endings,
A- They launch but there was no war.
B- They do not launch and there is a war.
C- They do not launch and there is no war.

So which one did they choose. The wimp one... IMO
 
actually i like crimson tide because you cant be sure what ending it is until it ends. So I really liked the suspense.

So there are 3 sub films I really like to watch.

Das Boot (most realistic)
Hunt for red october (Real good Tom Clancy thriller)
Crimson Tide (Great thriller)

I felt that U-571 was just a Das Boot wannabe.
 
Red October is a given in my book
I actually enjoyed U-571 as well, despite it starring Matthew McConaughey .
