I have listed the underwater themed feature films below. I really like this kind of films. Most will say the Abyss is the best one out of the bunch and they are probably right but I disagree that it is the most fun to watch. My favorites are Leviathan and DeepStar Six in order. The Abyss is just too long for many re-watches (too many side flips and disc swaps too). I listed what I thought the best versions of each film. Feel free to recommend more underwater themed films and their best versions. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954) [1587 CS]Grand Bleu, Le: version longue (The Big Blue) (1988) (Uncut) [PILF-1538]Warlords of Atlantis - No LD release Atlantis (1991) [PILH-1003] - Hi-Vision LD Atlantis (1991) [PILR-2017]Deep, The (1977) [PSE91-01]Deep Blue Sea (1999) [17242] - late release! Goliath Awaits (1981) [LDCVM5235]Sphere (1998) [15331]Mysterious Island (1961) [PSE92-26]Beneath The 12 Mile ReefLeviathan (1989) [ML101707]Lords of the Deep(1989) - No LD release? (French R2 DVD and US VHS exist) Evil Below, The (1989) [PILF-7124]Endless Descent (The Rift) (1990) [ID8235IV]DeepStar Six (1989) [PILF-1012] - OAR Abyss, The (1989) [1561-85]Abyss, The: Extended Version (1996) [0896885]Abyss, The: Special Edition (1989) (Uncut) [1988-85]Abyss, The: Special Edition (1989) (Uncut) [1988-80] - Jim Cameron's Special P&S Version Hunt for Red October, The (1990) [LV 32020-WS]Crimson Tide (1995) [12156 AS] DTS! Run Silent, Run Deep (1958) [NJL-99543]Ice Station Zebra (1968) [ML101888]Below (2002) - No LD Boot, Das (The Boat) (1981) (Uncut) [99916]K-19: The Widow Maker (2002) - No LD (one of the most expensive independent films) Phantom - No LD Black Sea (2014) - No LD TV SeriesSeaQuest DSV - No LD Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea: vol.01 [PILF-1996]- several volumes Sea Hunt - No LD Surface(2005) - cancelled without ending

This is a pretty interesting movie from Australia: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1438173/One of those where you don't want to stop and think about the implausabilities - just go along for the ride.

substance wrote: Excellent!!! I will update in a little bit. Perhaps we can include TV series as well? How about SeaQuest? There is always Sea Hunt. Although I picked up a couple of dvds with a few episodes of that series and it has not aged well. Of course I was very little when I watched it initially so my judgment back then was likely not the best.

My favorite underwater themed movie........ (Really enjoy the ones listed already including the abyss)
Also, the deep, deep blue sea, and Atlantis come to mind as well........
Nice thread here..... Deep Blue Sea? Shall we include all Jaws films then? Definitely the 3rd one, right?

It is about a warehouse type store that gets flooded by a tsunami after an earthquake - the lower levels are parking and totally flooded with a few people trapped in vehicles - the upper floor is the shopping area and people are trapped on top of the shelving racks with a shark roaming about picking people off. So a lot of the footage is shot underwater - just not in the ocean.
