List of Navy Movies, Contribute to the list
Can we all get together and get a nice list of Navy Movies. If you would like to write a little review or rate it feel free, but dont forget some of us may not have seen the Movie, so no spoilers please. There have been many a great navy movies out there, so list whatever you can. Thanks for your contributions.
I will start with: The Enemy Below with Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens(1957)- A must see, great action In Harms Way (1965) - Nuff Said They Were Expendable (1945) - If you like PT boats you will love this picture. |

...speaking of strawberries. I interviewed a WW2 navy vet, he and a cohort stole some officers strawberries and got caught. The cohort was a very popular guy on the DE, so they got away with it. (He looked a lot like Bud Abbott) I have to try and find my interview. but that was 15 years ago.

Battle of the River Plate - I ordered the dvd, but it came in the wrong region code so I cant watch it. Would like to see it though. If anyone wants it that can watch that region code let me know. Will have to wait till I go to other state to pick it up though. |

Also, why has no-one mentioned Das Boot yet?:rotfl: My offers: PT-109 (1963): not a great movie, but a good story, and more PT boats. Corvette K-225 (1943): A really fun movie about escorting convoys. Unfortunately still not on DVD or video, but is shown on cable channels from time to time. The Sea Chase (1955): Not such a good movie, but it has John Wayne as a GERMAN WW2 merchant captain, trying to get his crew home so they can make their own decision about whether to join up or not. The Cruel Sea (1953): More with the escorts. Haven't seen it, but I've read the book; and people say it's a good one. U-Boote Westwarts (1941): German u-boat movie, made during the war, and filmed on a real u-boat. Karl Doenitz plays himself. Melodromatic rah-rah propaganda, but no worse than American or British movies from the same era. Not available, but links have been posted to it on YouTube. I'm sorry I couldn't find it there; still looking. That's all from me for now.

Crimson Tide (1995?) Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. A boomer runs into a bit of trouble during an international crisis. Good flick.
