But my favorite sub-movies are Hunt For Red October and Das Boot. Oh, and Run Silent Run Deep.

I don't think I've ever seen 'Run Silent'..(heading to Netflix), but 'Red October' and 'Das Boot' are personal favorites. Have you seen the Director's Cut of 'Das Boot'? It is great listening to the commentary by Wolfgang Petersen. Turns out that when they went back into the studio to dub the voices for the English version, it was the first time Jurgen Prochnow had EVER spoken English for a movie before! Is that wild? I love listening to the commentaries on DVDs cause you can find out all sorts of useless, but interesting, trivia!

One of the most entertaining director's commentaries I've heard was Bonnie Hunt's on the movie 'Return to Me' along with her writing partner. It was fun!

Yes I have! It's fantastic, a real gem. The realism and sence of doom and fear in the movie is fantastic. I love it.

'Run Silent, Run Deep' is an old WWII sub movie. It's a good one though, there's something extra special about it. Check it out.
