Just for Fun: Best Navy Movies?

Categories

Over at my place we’ve had a little fun listing the “best” movies involving the U.S. Navy.

My choice of the top 5 are (in no particular order):

  1. In Harm’s Way
  2. Mr. Roberts
  3. Destination Tokyo
  4. Operation Petticoat
  5. The Caine Mutiny

Others have offered up the Bridges of Toko-Ri (Steeljaw sayeth: “How could you pass on Bridges at Toko-ri? Straight decks, Panther jets, AND Grace Kelly to boot…???”), Run Silent Run Deep, The Enemy Below, They Were Expendable, The Sand Pebbles and several more.

Now, I know this is not budget talk or Insurv fun, but for a change of pace – what movies about the U.S. Navy (and thus, not “Das Boot“) make up your list? By the way, there are no votes yet for The Incredible Mr. Limpet . . . or for the alluringly titled The Kingsbury Thrust Bearing.
