Where do people put Hunt for Red October?

War-thriller?

Cold War-Scottish actor as Russian-thriller

(Also one of the only two good books written by Clancy)

#2 being Cardinal of the Kremlin?

Red Storm Rising.
Mostly because of no Jack Ryan.

Jesus, I hate to say this, but CHUCK IS RIGHT.  Hunt for Red October and The Cardinal of the Kremlin are indeed the only two good books written by Tom Clancy.  I actually think TCOTK is my favourite.

The Cardinal of the Kremlin is his best in my opinion, although I'd put Without Remorse up there as well.
Trying to ignore sense of self-awareness and post more often.

My complaint about a lack of Korean War films of a serious nature at least still stands.

Are you excluding Korean Korean War films?

I mentioned it in the other thread, and it deserves mention in this one...

Dr Strangelove.

It's currently on Hulu to watch for free.

I am. I'm disappointed by the lack of attention Hollywood has given it (in recent decades, Stew) compared to either WWII or Vietnam. I've seen a few good Korean Korean War films, Tae Guk Gi being the best.

Is there a separate thread for favorite submarine war movies?

All three of these are awesome.  The first two, if Gil hasn't seen them, he needs to.  They'll remind him of a famous episode from his all time favorite show.

Balance of Terror is the greatest episode of the original Star Trek, bar none. It's that, The City on the Edge of Forever, Mirror Mirror, and then a bunch of crap.

I've always been partial to Spock's Brain and Sub Rosa.  But those pale in comparison to all of Deep Sleep 9.

1. Balance of Terror
2. City on the Edge of Forever
3. Mirror, Mirror
4. The Doomsday Machine
5. Amok Time
6. The Enterprise Incident

The rest I could give two shits about. Never saw the appeal to the Trouble With Tribbles, although the Trials and Tribble-ations episode of DS9 was a pretty sweet tribute.
