I'm guessing this only because it was my son's favorite movie for years:

The Hunt for Red October.

other sub movies...

that one where the submarine sinks K-19: the Widowmaker

Below was too awful for Rogi to have seen it, so I'm not guessing that one.

In Enemy Hands?

Actually, due to my son's love of submarine movies, I think I've seen everyone one ever made....which makes me a little sad. The best one ever is an old one, Run Silent, Run Deep, which is a black and white movie starring Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. If you're looking for a movie about submarines- try that one. Hunt for Red October is my second favorite. (I omitted Das Boot because that is more of an intellectual movie than a sub movie, in my crazy personal designation of movies)

Here is a sub movie database: http://submarinemovies.com/

Het: Right continent. Wrong country. This movie was even more intense and scary in it's own way than Munich was.

With the exception of a submarine or two, I don't think there was any nuclear power anywhere near where most of this movie takes place..

My initial thought was Munich. Now I'm pretty sure it's that.

I feel like I've recognize this paper. I mean, I think it's the Trib, but from the movie in question. I'm probably wrong, but All the President's Men?

A little older (The movie, itself. Not necessarily the period. This one takes place ~~in the "middle" of~~ after Good Shepherd).
