For me, it's Das Boot. One of the best submarine films I have ever seen.

My other favourite is The Hunt for Red October.

Red October, but probably only because of my hero Mr Connery.

I've only seen one good submarine film: Das Boot.. I find other films very "americanized"
( I am curious about "Above us the waves"

Das boot!

I think it's funny how in sub-movies when there is a severe depth bomb attack, the only thing shaking is the camera..

oceandream · « **Reply #13 on:** August 13, 2010, 18:53:26 »

EH?

Who dares too think that?

Not only the cam also the sub model used in the movie

saltydog · « **Reply #14 on:** August 13, 2010, 19:00:15 »

In "Das Boot" those kind of scenes look very realistic..

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #15 on:** August 13, 2010, 20:03:34 »

I don't think I have seen another movie that made me feel so much 'part of the experience' as 'Das Boot' does.

'Hunt for Red October' is a great movie. But it's not thÃ¡t much about the submariners and life on board, specialy in time of war.. But very good nonetheless.

For all it's flaws, 'U-571' was pretty entertaining.. though far fetched here and there.

Another one I recently watched again is 'Below', which is a good one too. But due to it's genre, not too realistic.

I liked 'Crimson Tide' a lot aswell. But again, not as much about 'heartship in wartime' as Das Boot, for example. And most of these 'modern sub' movies do not show an accurate submarine interior, I think. The lighting is all wrong too if you ask me. Not that I am an expert, but they also seem to have a LOT of unused space to spare in those movies sometimes..

U-571 was so historicaly wrong.. The British were quite miffed how it was "Americanized"

Fred has got a point thou

saltydog · « **Reply #18 on:** August 13, 2010, 21:05:46 »

If you want to make a movie that needs US military hardware, like subs, ships, planes etc..
the US military get a big say in the script..(and they like to make the military look good)..

Yeah, it was about as factual as that film about that one ship.. that James Cameron made...

I would love to see a submarine movie from Bollywood...

Now there's a thought..
