Recommend me some Submarine movies.

No move will entirely accurately portray military life. No one wants to see that; they'd fire the entire military and make us all go into therapy.

RE: subs, the only subs I have been on aside from museum subs were to do lock-in/lock-out, and I have NO idea what subs they were. Caribbean, water was warm with perfect visibility. I recall being VERY cooped up with no room, just told "don't touch that."

Y'all want realism. I posted up Operation Petticoat. True to life as it gets man. Real life operational detail, engagement of ground LOC targets by sub, they even throw in some hard core SEAL/commando ops. Jeez, how much more accuracy do ya need.

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

'Torpedo Run' is on my list to get, have 'Below', never heard of 'Phantom'. Thanks for the suggestions.

Check out the movie Greyhound with Tom Hanks.

This is one I've been wanting to see but I can't find it at a decent price. Looks to be good for a newer movie.

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

The Hunley is one I'd like to see for sure. Of course 'Operation Petticoat' is a classic, not sure if I have it or not. I haven't heard of the other two, I'll look into them. Thanks.

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."

Yeah, that's part of the problem, still some new ones have come out, issue there is so many new movies just suck. I was pleasantly surprised with 'Hunter Killer'.

.....then he proceeds to list the only 10 movies in existance.

I forgot 'Hellcats of the Navy' on my list and there's a few more.

We had a surface transit through the english channel in state 5 seas. It was so bad, we had seasoned Senior Cheifs running for the head to Ralph. Water was too shallow to submerge, so we were stuck on the surface for about 4 hours with shit and people flying everywhere.Water pouring down the access hatch to the sail, we actually had to seal it with the OOD and lookout up top. That was the one time I was glad I wasn't in the sail, otherwise that was the absolute best place to be during a surface transit. I loved watching the dolphins that were always there escorting us to our destination.

Pretty amazing how well active penetrates and reverberates the steel hull. Scares the shit out of you if you aren't expecting it.

ahh the dolphins , the way they use to roll over the bow playfully , that was cool , you are right , i loved standing lookout while surfced , it was so peaceful just you and 2 others

yea state 5 on the surface is no joke , we had to helo that guy off in it, im glad i wasnt topside for that, you can roll pretty good a couple hundred feet down

yea but to divorce so completely from reality isnt the way either ,i was navy and not war time but i would thing Saving Private Ryan was pretty realistic ,and as a result probably one of the best war movies ever done as a result ,IMHO
