hate to be picky here, but Das Boot, Crimson Tide, Hunt for Red October etc are all submarine movies which is surely a different bag entirely to a film being set on ship; submarine films enjoy a completely different tense, claustrophobic vibe which you don't get topside.

Would you call a submarine a type of ship?

 

[Crispy]

Any films set entirely on planes (or other aircraft?)

 

[Spandex]

I just remembered - there's a whole genre of WW2 films set on ships. The Battle of the River Plate is the only title that springs to mind, but there have been loads of them...

 

[Juice Terry]

The Cruel Sea
In Which We Serve
We Dive At Dawn
Above Us The Waves
African Queen
Midway

for starters

[nino_savatte]

Steamboat Willy...okay, it's an animation but it's still a film.

 

[jodal]

no.

I disagree.

 

[MikeMcc]

The Airplane series of films and all other similar airplane 'shocker' movies that I can't be arsed to look up!
The recent Jodie Foster movie.
Snakes on Planes.
One with Harrison Ford as the president on AF1.


Trains, anyone?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Nobody's mentioned the utterly superb and totally underrated Legend of 1900 with Tim Roth. Loved that film.

 

[Sigmund Fraud]

I disagree.

the clues in the word 'submarine'. Or do you also think a helicopter is the same as an aeroplane?

 

[upsidedownwalrus]

Bored at wok again.

Well that will teach you to hang around in East Asian frying pans.

 

[PacificOcean]

The Airplane series of films

They wern't set entirely on planes though. They had scenes at the Airport at the start and the control tower during the film.

 

[Crispy]

Yeah, no cuts to traffic control or the crying wife. I want entirely on the plane - like das boot is nothing but that submarine.

I think I typed and sent that when my boss was just walking up behind me.

Das Boot starts with a massive piss-up...on land.

God you are boring. Piss off of my thread.
