The best Submarine movie ever made!!
Tension, suspense, acting, effects and action are all superb. Simply the best hands down,
shareHahahahhaa... WRONG!
shareIt is good but can't say the best. I really wish the race stuff at the end was taken out, it just weakens the film. I gotta go with hunt for red october as the best.
shareNot even close to being the best. For me it's a toss-up between "Hunt For Red October" and "Das Boot" being the best.
shareYou're all wrong. Down Periscope is the best sub movie ever...
shareNo one is right or wrong as the point of discussion is a matter of personal non-factual opinion. What one person likes or thinks is best is right for them. there is no wrong.
As opposed to a fact based opinion that can be wrong. Belief that the Earth is flat for example.
Another example of a wrong fact based opinion is thinking that Shattered Sword is revisionist garbage.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
Thank you for the education to us all. We are very grateful.
That said, YOU are incorrect. It is undeniably FACTUAL that Down Periscope IS the greatest submarine movie ever made.
For God's sake, the other movies suggested don't even have a plank on their boats!
Oh come on. There wasn't anything racial about this film whatsoever. I know, you're talking about the horse dialogue. No way was that supposed to be a jab at him being an African American. Hackman's character wouldn't have even hired Denzel in the beginning if he had a problem with the color of his skin. And even after the two went head on throughout the film, they respected each other in the end. The horse scene was just Hackman having to be right. And then him using it as a joke in the end. He was a stubborn captain stuck in his ways, sure. Not used to anyone challenging him. But clearly not a racist.
