Tonight's all action fandango was Crimson Tide (1995), in which Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman engage in learned disputation over whether or not to fire their submarine's nuclear missiles. Good stuff, if rather along the lines of most films set in modern submarines, as opposed to ones in black and white submarines which tended mainly to focus on Richard Attenborough losing his nerve.

There was also Morning Departure (1950), where he cracked under the strain of being trapped in a submarine, though he ultimately redeemed himself.
