![]() Best Submarine MoviesBy Raymond Lockley
The submarine movie is a fascinating subgenre of the war or action
movie category. Subs constrain the actors and the action, and
create a strong psychological backdrop for high-pressure situations
and life-and-death stories. A great submarine movie is not only
dramatic and entertaining, but also makes the most of this unique
setting. The viewer can also look forward to strong performances
in the roles of the commanding officers and
chiefs.
