Not Quite Red October

CNN reports a missing unmanned U.S. mini-sub was found on a beach in Norway. Submarines have always fascinated me, even bathtub subs. THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER and CRIMSON TIDE are two of my favorite movies. This does not mean I'll watch anything with a sub in it. Seaquest DSV didn't interest me in the least. I did watch the Kelsey Grammer comedy DOWN PERISCOPE twice (not in the theater).

I liked Down Periscope. Granted, it was the type of movie they made back in the sixties, but it was alright for what it was.

Of course, I watched it on HBO.

If you liked Down Periscope, check out the 1959 version of Operation Petticoat. Richie Cunningham's Mom as a Nurse! Captain Stubing's first cruise! A Pink Submarine! Oh yeah, and Cary Grant and that Tony Curtis dude were pretty good too. What more could you ask?
