Having been a submarine freak since junior high, I'd like to compile a list of sub movies with year made, nationality, major name actors if any, and short plot summary or list of memorable incidents. Mail me whatever and I will ultimately post to this group. Some titles I can remember are: Das Boot Run Silent, Run Deep The Enemy Below (shown in Germany as The Enemy Above, I heard) Mystery Submarine Operation Petticoat (involves nurses and a PINK sub) I consider the last a legitimate sub flick, but not so sure about Voyage to Bottom of Sea or Fantastic Voyage -- I mean REAL subs with some hard realities. Also, does anyone know of any TV station re-running the old (mid-50's) "Silent Service" series? mike knudsen ihnss!knudsen

One excellent recent submarine movie was Ice Station Zebra. Don't remember the year, but it starred Rock Hudson, Patrick McGoohan, Ernest Borgnine, and Jim Brown.

(Response to query for submarine movies) One movie I remember is "Gray Lady Down" about the rescue operation on a sunken sub. One notable thing is that Christopher Reeve (Superman) and Ned Beatty (also from Superman) were in it. Scott Orshan houxi!u1100a!sdo
