As was mentioned earlier, the movie Das Boot or The Boat in English. I've read a few books on German submarine warfare and this movie is so close to real life on a WWII German sub. In a couple scenes the crew rushes forward to the bow to add extra weigh for a faster emergency dive. Foodstuffs in every nook and cranny, tubes of salami handing from the bulkhead and the close living conditions echo everything I read in books based on interviews with actual submariners.
