As an adult, Das Boot. As a kid, Destination Tokyo had me on the edge of my seat. |

Das Boot But honorable mention due to a terrific sound track to Crimson Tide. |

"Run Silent Run Deep" for me. |

Das Boot made one feel that you were really in the sub. Jim |

"The Enemy Below" is probably at the top of the list for me, but there are a number of good ones. |
| robert piepenbrink | 02 Nov 2023 8:16 a.m. PST |
Does "Balance of Terror" count? |
| Col Durnford | 02 Nov 2023 8:50 a.m. PST |
I believe Balance of Terror was just a remake of The Enemy Below in space. Just because no one else has said it, The Bedford Incident (also The Enemy Below set in the Cold War). With all that I'm mind, my vote would be for The Enemy Below. |

Das Boot
Crimson Tide
Grey Lady Down for the claustrophobia it induced in a teenage me, and featuring a young Ronnie Cox, who I later recognised half way through Robocop. |

"I believe Balance of Terror was just a remake of The Enemy Below in space." Certainly, which is why I rate it as a submarine movie. (It was clear even in the first broadcast, when I'd never heard of The Enemy Below.) But I think on balance it's an improved version. Possibly the shorter running time helped? Note that it was outright theft, by the way, not purchase: I can't find any acknowledgement in the TV episode either of the movie or the book the movie was based on. |

On a lighter note, Operation Petticoat. The witch doctor scene was just great…! ;-) |

Das Boot,
Run Silent, Run Deep,
Above Us The Waves
in that order. This last is a 1955 British film about the X-Craft attacks on the Tirpitz. link Barry |
