Best Submarine movie of all time?

The Hunt For Red October has my vote. What do you guys think?

Journey to the Center of Your Cornhole

Wingding goes to 115% on the reactor in this one.

Haven't seen Das Boot yet, but I hear it's choice. I will have to download if off BitTorrent while I'm at work tonight. And yes, my manhood IS intact, thank you very much!

...* Gets chair, cracks open a cold one *...

Let the fisti...er..festivities commence!

Well have you actually been inside a submarine?

Just curious as to how much Hollywood you can swallow?

Saying that! My favorites are, Das Boot, Enemy Below, and Torpedo Run and not necessarily in that order, I like the Fear Factor of subs to be in a movie, and somewhere close to reality.

You know!, the fear of being crushed by some destroyers depth charges, sweat, fear, and sheer panic, pipes bursting from the pressure, compartments flooding and bulkheads warping, cannot be left out of a good sub movie.

Of course when I was in the Navy I didn't choose the ships that sank themselves I was in the surface fleet, but I have been inside a sub and theres not much room in the older ones, sleeping on and under the torpedoes, and studying just what was involved on reloading a tube, kinda made me realize what they actually went through.

Which is why I like the older movies.

Since you mentioned Crimson Tide heres some Hollywood bullsh!t for you, when the lower compartment was flooding and Denzel ordered the guy to close the hatch but he waited until the water was coming up through it, theres no way in hell he could have closed that hatch at that point with the water gushing up through it!

Hollywood doesn't take into consideration that compartments that can be closed off to preserve a ship toward the outer hull have the hatch on the other side so the water pressure keeps the door solidly closed against its water proof seat, the more pressure the tighter the seal.

But that lessens the Holywood drama!

In reality if the hatch was on the proper side and enough water pressure hit that hatch it would actually close from the water pressure and remain watertight as long as it had pressure against it whether you dogged it down or not, and those guys inside would have died without anyone ordering the hatch to be sealed.

Thats acceptable losses, its better to loose 5 men, than the entire ship.

And one other thing in a battle station setting of readiness all watertight doors are already closed, but only hollywood installs screen doors on submarines.

ROFLMAO That was a joke Right?


NewsFlash You are a Noob!

Lets just get that out of the way!

Well according to RobD you are now penisless!

You can enjoy Hollywood movies better clueless!

They really screw up sometimes when they cannot keep up with whatever handgun the main character is using!

And if it only shoots 6 rounds it has to be reloaded!

Car hits Mel Gibson in Payback he goes over the hood into the windshield and completely smashes the front windshield in, very next scene windshield is in place not a crack on it!

Airforce style movies where the planes keep changing from one type to another!

Shoot a gass tank and a car blows up every time in Hollywood!

In the Jackal when Bruce fires his new toy at the pumpkin they had drew a face on and cut down the tree to the left, the calibration was off to the left, so when he targeted the pack of cigarettes in Jacks hand it fires to the right?

Blows jacks arm off?

It should've missed him completely that was one screwed up gun, it fires to the left the first time and to the right the second.

And NO! He didn't recalibrate the gun, Bruce made the statement, "Told you it was off", Yes Hollywood it was off in the other direction!

By the way, besides some Hollywood flubb, if you haven't seen the Jackal its a pretty good movie, check it out!

Red October is one of few movies I've seen before reading the book...So when I first saw it I thought it was OK...The good guys beat the bad guys..Happiness prevails, yadda yadda...
Yet comon sense told me there were huge holes in the story line... A CIA analyst with that much responsibility handed over to him? The navy bending to the C.I.A. in such a manner? totally preposterous....

How the hell did Tom Clancy reap so much acclaim for this dribble?

Ahhh time to read the book...Oh thats why!!! It isnt even the same story!

Understandably Hollywood must chop up a book in order to turn it into a screen play...How ever this was a complete re-write of the original book storyline in which Jack Ryans role was greatly reduced to almost fathomable proportians...He was stuck on a British air-craft carrier sitting on his hands for what would have amounted to a 1/3 of the movie if it followed the original storyline.

There was no Russian torpedo to dodge in the canyons....The sabotage was to Reactor components only {which would instill fear in the crew}

And most importantly there was no U.S.S. Dallas intentionally putting itself in harms way drawing a torpedo into a game of tag. {100% implausable}

The main focus of the book was the actions of the surface fleets playing cat & mouse with each other which took almost half the book yet in the movie was reduced to 1 scene with a Tom cat crashing on the deck of a carrier...
The list goes on But the final tally has the book being very factual & plausable & the movie being merely hollywood bulls[b][/b]hit.

And as Movies go "Crimson Tide" was every bit it's equal

As for sh[b][/b]it like this,I suggest you read the Stickys.

It may stop a n00b co[b][/b]cksucker such as yourself from spewing verbal diarrhea of this ilk around where it runs down your chin & permenantly stains the skin forever marking you as an as[b][/b]shole....

Have a nice day fu[b][/b]ck head...

Side note... The absolute worst submarine movie of all time Was U-571

WWII submarines simply did not have the ability to aquire & target another submerged ship...Let alone one shot them with those old will they hit or wont they,Will they detonate or won't they torpedos, This is only the tip of the iceberg in the fairytale nature of this movie yet it says enough to make me hate it...

While I'll agree with you on the fairytale part, you gotta love the part when Jon Bon Jovi gets owned by the sub hatch as he's taking a picture of McConaughey.

Not really. Guess I *admittedly* don't know when to keep my mouth shut sometimes. Just trying to be humorous but instead I get flamed. But one can learn from their mistakes, myself included. To err is human, after all.

I can see that I arrived just in the nick of time.

Nobody cares about any goddamn sub movies, your feelings, your penis, or any other shyte you might dream up to try and worm your way in here. To properly enter the Other you must be bent over at the waist, naked and walking backwards and chanting these words:

Oh Great Wingy where art thou?
Oh Great Wingy I'm your cow!
Oh Great Wingy take me now!
Oh Great Wingy where art thou?

Please remember to leave us the names of your next of kin in case Wingy gets a little too...frisky.

You joined the forums may of this year right, so you've been here what 5+ months, and you're not a noob yourself?

Thats interesting!

Excuse me Mar an extra 2 months, same thing possibly, at least you're a noob to me.

Hmm, Missed that one!

Oh, so that means you've let Wingding have his merry little way with you and blow out your O-ring to get initiated? Hope he didn't forget the K-Y.

I don't think he has.

But I am sure he had some submarine in him... 8)

No one "lets" Wingding do anything. We just, you know, turn a blind eye...

I can't believe I'd forgotten Predator, oh well the minds the first to go, next thing you know I'll be biting people.

Yeah it's obvious, but at the same time you'd better add me to your "tough-nut-to-crack" list. I am not no "non-hacker" especially after all the razing I had to put up my freshman year. Seniors at ol' West Ottawa High aren't no hoes. *rolls the blunt and fires it up* And yeah that dude that said WTH clearly didn't understand the point of the pure "gross-out" factor. *exhales* Which was freakin' great I might add.

Hmm... That may seem like the best sub movie yet. I'll have to see if I can't find a torrent for that...

Yeah, you know what they say, the best movies are pornos.

Isn't that what they say? "They" should be then.

You're one to talk... I've heard talk about you and Wingding exchanging milky white salvos up each other's arses in the THG labs broom closet. So if anyone has those bi-curious or full blown homo tendencies it's you two. I'm strictly clitly...

UPDATE: Can't find a torrent file for that one. Nuts.

ROFL

I think you'll make it!

I am a dude. I just dig on pu$$y not c0ck. That's what "strictly clitly" means. Unlike Hugh Jack-a-man (appropriate name, huh?) of Wolverine/X-Men movie fame, no pole smokers here...
