Well Sea Dogswhat Is The Very Best Submarine Movie?
I Personally Don't Know About Best But I Recon I Still Prefer The Hunt For Krazny October I Think It's The Confident Manner In Which Scott Glenn Commands The 'Dallas' And I Have Some wierd Attraction To All Things Soviet Except Their Economy And Politics. They Made Great Tubes For My Guitar Amps and really nice warm Ushanka hats that get me some wierd looks in my little east Central Illinois town.

Das Boot! Enemy below is a good film thought but Das Boot is in a league of its own!

Das Boot all the way. And if you're planning to get it, get the Original Uncut ~5 hour version. I know, 5hrs seems like a lot, but it'll fly watching it.

I like a lot of them, but I agree: The 5-hour 'Original, Uncut Version' of Das Boot is the best representation of life inside a sewer pipe, bar none.

the sub movies
I tried to watch Das Boot once but I felt like paint drying would move along better. Iknow it's recognized as a classic, though
"yep." 'Enemy below' is right near the top if not there. and couple WWII vintage; 'Run Silent Run Deep'. for a hoot there's always 'Voyage to see what's on the Bottom as 'Mad' Magazine retitled it in my youth |

Das Boot in the original German, not the redub.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was a terrible movie, not merely in comparison to the classic Das Boot but in comparison to the Dukes of Hazzard. The plot makes little sense at all, the science no sense at all and the submarine interiors are awful. Also the lead character comes across as an overbearing asshat rather than the loveable, take-charge guy the cast refer to him as, either due to bad writing or bad direction. Das Boot is Oscar material, VttBotS couldn't win a gonk at a fair. |

The Enemy Below is one of my favorites, and one of the things that made me select destroyers as my ship-of-choice when I was in the navy, but the 'u-boat' interior is about as fake and as bad as it can get. As a chess-player's drama it is outstanding, but as a 'submarine' movie I would rate it a two at best.

Das Boot, Crimson Tide and Hunt for Red October. You just gotta love the Sonar in Crimson Tide, and the Bridge in Red October
