These selections are all great, but you're missing one of my favorite submarine movies, which may or may not actually be a submarine movie. But I insist it's a submarine movie! It's Guy Maddin's 2015 opus The Forbidden Room. It starts out as a submarine movie, then warps through various assorted genres, including volcano movies and caged-lunatic-on-a-train movies. Then it flips through several alternative endings taken from the "Book of Climaxes," and ends abruptly. My favorite detail of the "trapped in a submarine" plot is how the submariners eat flapjacks, because the bubbles contain precious oxygen.
I remember a 60s movie called The Bedford Incident with Richard Widmark, and Sidney Poitier that was quite gripping. In fact, I’m not sure if we ever even see the submarine, yet it’s a presence the entire movie.
Down Periscope with Kelsey Grammer... seriously...
Operation Petticoat?

It’s a genre! Yellow Submarine ?

Oh man. Das Boot. Soooo good.
“A dear friend disagreed with my classifying The Abyss as a ‘submarine movie’" - your dear friend sounds like an incredibly smart and handsome fellow
He is Nemo-like
Love this

...no? Why?
Look, friend, it's a great movie. A great submarine movie. I like these 5 more.
👍fair enough.
Although CT > THFRO is subjectively false😉
I think you forgot U-571. Looking through the comments I'm seeing some submarine movies I need to see.
Awesome list...glad you didn't include "The Hunt for Red October" which imo is a cliche-ridden peace of tripe! "Das Boot" is an awesome film!
My dad was a Chief Petty Officer on the USS Patrick Henry...I wonder what his favorite sub movies were?
Have you seen morning departure (1950)?
no but i will seek it out
