    Recommend me some Submarine movies.

    I love a good submarine movie and you guys always have excellent movie recommendations. I know there is a bunch I have not seen, so what would you add to my list of submarine flicks? Based on actual events are always a bonus.

    Das Boot
    The Enemy Below
    The Hunt for Red October
    Crimson Tide
    Run Silent, Run Deep
    U-571
    K-19: The Widowmaker
    The Bedford Incident
    Destination Tokyo
    On the Beach
    Hunter Killer

    I'm even good with mixing genres like Sci-Fi or Supernatural themes. One of my favorite Star Trek episodes is Balance of Terror modeled after The Enemy Below with Mark Lenard playing the Romulan commander (the U-Boat) vs Capt. Kirk (the US destroyer). These flicks come to mind...

    The Abyss
    20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)
    Voyage to the Bottom
    Below

    TIA
    Gettin' down innagrass.

    That's a pretty comprehensive list. I got nothing.

    Torpedo Run is pretty good. 'Below' from 2002 is decent, and 'Phantom' I liked.

    I enjoyed Underwater, though it doesn't involve a submarine.

    You have a darn good list. Hard to add to that but...

    The Command (Kursk)
    The Hunley(TV Movie)
    Black Sea (iffy adventure movie)

    Don't forget Operation Petticoat

    You have most of them. It's hard to make a new, interesting film about subs. It has all the plot constraints of "we are on this rocket."
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

    Chuck, we miss ya man.

    The Smithsonian channel had a series of accounts from WWII that I thought was presented well:

    If you’re into non-fiction documentaries, then I would recommend Azorian: The raising of the K-129, which covers the CIA’s top secret efforts to raise a portion of the sunken Soviet submarine K-129. I believe I watched it on Amazon Prime.
