as far as im concerned, the definitive submarine movie is "Das Boot"

Das Boot (1981) - IMDb

If you think the depth charge stuff is awesome is U-571, its pretty intense in das boot. That should be the next one that Jplinville plays in his home theater.
There are a few scenes where the hull of the submarine is cracking around them, and I can only imagine what that sounds like in surround sound.

I like U-571 too, I only wish it was accurate. Seems like a story could have been told that was closer to the truth and just as entertaining. I also was annoyed at the token black guy thing going on in U-571, at least early on. That struck me as silly Hollywood PC stuff.
