Default Your top submarine movies

I need some opinions from you guys (who better to ask) as I'm thinking of buying a few more submarine movies. Here's what I have so far:

Das Boot (Directors Cut and Uncut)
K-19 The Widowmaker Special Edition
Down Periscope
We Dive at Dawn
Above Us The Waves




Any ideas? I'd prefer something in colour first, and if anyone says *whisper*U-571*whisper* I'll castrate them.

Default Ice Station Zebra

Saw this old classic flick today and it reminded me of the cold war in the 1960's. The boat in the movie seemed to be an old Skate class attack sub and showed seemingly realistic under ice ops...at least for 1968. The inside shots seemed to be accurate and reminded me of my visit on the Nautilus. However, the noise coming from the engineering spaces was deafining, at least in the movie and led the way to much quieter boats. Can any of you sub veterans tell me what "injection temperature" means or was it a goof like the 1260' deep dive. Anyway, it makes for a good afternoon star studded flick.

I never read the book, but I did enjoy the movie. Did you find the book better, perchance?
