Interesting; I rewatched this a couple days ago (without having seen this comment).
There’s a particularly brilliant point where the protagonist asserts his intimate knowledge of a foreign submarine commander by guessing a detail completely at random. When he owns up to having guessed later (when it doesn’t matter that he had guessed), he attains even more status.
(Movie, 1990) The Hunt for Red October
Interesting because the plot focuses on coordination rather than combat. Also just generally pretty engaging and suspenseful.
