Submarine films

Deadly Ferret · 14 Sep 2007 at 23:33

I have a deep fascination with submarines, and have read dozens of novels involving them. I've seen very few films about them though, so I'm hoping to find out about some I haven't heard of courtesy of you.

The ones I can remember seeing are:

Das Boot
Hunt For Red October
Below
Crimson Tide

Can you think of any others?

Yellow Submarine.

Please forgive me, if I hadn't done it someone else would have, might as well get it out of the way early.

I s'pose, in a way, Poseidon counts too

U-571
The Abyss?

Run Silent Run Deep

^^ Classic Sub movie, with Clark Gable & Burt Lancaster. It may be 50 years old, but it'll give any modern sub movie a run for the money

K19, the Widowmaker
Run Silent , Run Deep
The Sea Wolves

Thanks very much, they're all new to me except K19 which I'd seen but forgotten about. I'll keep an eye out for those golden oldies, as I enjoyed Das Boot, but I was specifically hoping for some more recent ones, ideally involving nuclear boats or modern diesel-electrics.

Fantastic sub film, Ice Station Zebra.

More of a low budget movie but made in 2005 is Tides of War with that geezer from the highlander series has a similar kind of scene to crimson tide where there is a dispute between commanders its not das boot,k-19 or red october but is watchable

I understand why someone would mention that in a submarine thread, but please not again!

The Life Aquatic

I dont think it was a film but what was that submarine thing with David Jason in it, when the submarine gets possesed. I think it was split into 2 parts on tv.

Not a bad film to be honest (action/story wise) shame it had to be based on WWII and completely re-write history.

I was thinking the same thing (after all the serious ones have been mentioned), its quite good actually !

I like U-571 but you have to take the story line with a pinch of salt. People just get annoyed as it's completely wrong historically.

I'm pretty sure I remember Ice station zebra. Excellent film.
