Hunt for Red October for me. Crimson tide is too unrealistic of a scenario for me. Obviously both are Hollywood stories but CT is a little too much for me
HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE BOOK VERSION OF HUNT.

Red October by a mile. Tom Clancy knows naval warfare and it shows (read Red Storm Rising for even better submarine warfare). Great sub story. Crimson Tide merely took place on a sub.

CT has the more intense character battle between Hackman and Denzel and seeing those two go at it is gold every time. The sub stuff was just a vehicle to deliver it. I found the concept of the movie interesting personally. 
it could have taken place in a missile silo though.
Red October is a kickass sub movie.

Red October. One of my favorites. Great book also.

The script in October was pretty bad but it was a fun as shite movie to watch.
It has a Top Gun feel IMO. That doesn't mean I don't love it because I do.
That being said Das Boot is still the underwater boat movie for me. It is the one I get the most stress from. If you have a subwoofer system that is seriously capable the SFX are incredible. Unfortunately few home systems can do the movie justice.

From this point on there would be a dead body in the freezer (the exact same freezer that all the food is in), and no one talks about it.
Happened on our boat on our way to a Med run. A Senior Chief Nav ET had a heart attack and died in the middle of the Atlantic. We wrapped him in terry cloth and then plastic wrap and put him in the freezer for 3 days. It was tight cuz we just loaded groceries. We had to drop him off in Rota Spain. This was early 90's. Maybe protocols have changed since then.

Oh...and Red October is far superior to CT.

I don’t think so, where else do you put a body? If you map the CT universe onto the real one though, I think the other at sea Ohio’s have coverage while the Alabama flanks it back to port to dump the body and repair the galley [seriously, if a piece of galley equipment gets knocked out your deployment range shrinks from months to weeks if not days, cans of flour are useless with no oven]

Red October score - Basil Poledouris, 'nuf said.
But, Crimson Tide -Hans Zimmer - makes use of "Eternal Father, Strong To Save".
Gotta go with Red October.

Red October. I love Denzel and Hackman, but Red October was better.

There's something to be said about Connery not giving a frick about accents.
Posted on 5/7/22 at 7:29 pm to flvelo12

THFRO is a Shawshank/Roadhouse movie that must be watched if it is on.
Agreed. Haven't watched CT since the first time. Not to say CT sucked, but it's Oct by a mile.

I’ll be honest, years ago when I first saw Crimson Tide and realized it was the USS Alabama, I was already skeptical. Then they all said, ”Roll Tide!”
Ugh. Still a good movie.
I like October much better.

Red October by a long shot.
This business will get out of control . This will get out of control and we will be lucky to live thorough it!
