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.

The Bedford Incident. (196x) Looks a lot like the Cuban Missle Crisis incident with the Russian subs (See book October Fury)



...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.

thanks for posting guys, I know there are more of you out there, keep those movina pitures comin!

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.

Tora, Tora, Tora (1970)

A great documentary-style retelling of attack on Pearl Harbor.

What is your region? Also, you can buy 'code-free' players. Third, put it in your computer; most PCs are set to change regions (but only a couple of times, so be sure to save it to your hard drive).

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.

I was fortunate enough to find a copy of U-boote Westwärts on VHS around 1997 or 1998. What I need to transfer it to DVD. :hmm:

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