1_hunt for red october
2_crimson tide
3_das boot
4_k19 the widowmaker
5_ice station zebra
Ther are some more solid submarine action entries but i mentioned my current top 5
Have your say and give your top 5

I haven't seen many submarine movies, but Hunt for Red October and Das Boot were both great movies. :up:

Admittedly, I haven't seen enough submarine movies to answer this question properly, but Crimson Tide was definitely the first movie that popped into my head when I saw the title of this thread.

You have to see The Cruel Sea. Try Above Us The Waves, Run Silent, Run Deep or We Dive At Dawn too.

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

The Enemy Below, Murphy's War, The Bedford Incident and 20000 Leagues Under the Sea are really good too.

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

Does The Bedford Incident count? They're not on a sub. However, if it does, then I'd second that.

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

It's hunting a sub.

Operation Pacific (1951)
Operation Petticoat (1959)
On the Beach (1959)
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
Gray Lady Down (1981)

I know, but I thought they had to be on a sub. Anyway, as I said, if it counts, I'd recommend it too. Though probably not as much as mark ;):D

I have a sub movie that I can't remember the title. It was from the 1950s, maybe early 1960s, it was color. The mission was secret and had an old scientist and his attractive daughter also a scientist. She had a romance with the leading man who was an American secret OPs type guy. They sailed to an enemy base and used frog men to attack and then blew up the base.....Anybody know which one that is?

All I can think of is Up Periscope (1959)

Yellow Submarine? :D

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

Well ya got the color part right;)

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

Hunt for Red October and 20,000 leagues under the sea.

On a side note I liked this submarine SciFI drama back in the 80's SeaQuest DSV but only the first couple of seasons, when it was beamed interspace and then brought back with a totally new crew that last season was awful.

I didn't seen these 5 submarine movies but last weekend i had seen Black Sea movie.. This one is also pretty awesome movie.

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

I put Das Boot at #1, but it's got to be the original language version with sub-titles (hey, what other kind of titles would you have in a "sub" movie)?

The dubbed version just loses so much of the acting, emotion and inflection with fake voices for the actors. It adds an almost cartoonish quality that does not fit the movie.

Rules, could you be thinking of the original Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961) movie?

The movie that made way for the TV series (1964 - 68)?

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

We loved Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea series when we were kids :)

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea was great fun, both the series and movie. Captain nope that's not it. I read about Up Periscope (1959) that's not it either.

I found out what the mystery sub movie was....Hell and High Water (1954) with Richard Widmark. Awesome sub flick.

Re: top 5 submarine movies
 

Wow! Never heard of it! Which is weird because I thought I knew of all the sub movies from that era.
I'll have to put it on my "look for" list seeing as I love submarine movies!
