"Above us the Waves" and "Commander X-1" are two different movies. "Above us" is a historically accurate accounting of the X-Craft raid to sink the German Cruiser Tirpitz. Black and white, probably about 50 years old, starring JBritish Actor Sir John Mills, used actual X-Craft (4 to 5-man British midget submarines). Accurate sets of interior of submarines.
"X-1" is a much newer (20 years?) , color, Hollywood movie rather loosly based on the raid and using Hollywood (read unrealistic) versions of the X-Craft. James Cann as I recall. See "Above us" for historical and technical accuracy, see "X-1" for the fun of it.
has Any one listed Das Boot ?

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Movie submarines
I just moved, and I'm taking only one class, so I have spare time. I've
been watching submarine movies. It came to me that there's no list of
them (well, there's one, but it's incomplete).
So far, I have:
Nerka
Corsair
Sea Tiger
Seaview
Copperfin
Thunderfish (SS 502)
Fer-de-Lance
Tigerfish
