Let's see..."Das Boot", ""Run Silent, Run Deep", "Destination Tokyo",
"Hunt for Red October", "Operation Pacific", "Crash Dive", "On The Beach", "Enemy Below", "The Bedford Incident"...which only showed
a periscope during the whole film, "Hell and High Water", "Crimson Tide"...to name just a few.

The genre, is one, that you can't really screw up, unless you try, and really hard. It's story elements are basic, and in and of themselves, create compelling, constantly interesting drama, by just saying the word "submarine".

Which only leaves one other area, open, for screwing up...casting.

It goes to show, a "Harrison Ford", does not a film, solely, make for entertaining viewing.

I wonder how nervous George Lucas is now, just in the "planning" stage for Indiana Jones 4 ? I would be, if I were him !
