3) Das Boot (1981)
This is a German war film written and directed by Wolfgang Petersen. It plucks out an atmosphere of claustrophobia and intensity about the lives of the U-boat crew in World War II. It captures the depth of psychological strain that the war imposed on these individuals and the threat of enemy detection in a treacherous mission in the Atlantic.
Das Boot is chilling and exposes the sense of duty, fear, and all the moral complexities that soldiers have to face at war, all captured with careful detail and truthfulness in the presentation of life on board.
