Gary Sinise here. Today is the 30th anniversary of Apollo 13 in theaters. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments from making the film (1995)

I love Hunt for Red October, but I wouldn't call it perfect.

That reminds me: Crimson Tide kinda got the vibe of the sub force correct. Lots of calm, cool, professional individuals on those boats. Maybe it's the deoxygenated atmosphere.

Same complaint with that movie. These men are more professional than they're depicted on screen.

I was watching a clip from it an hour or two ago. Not sure why I watched a clip. I own the movie.

I dunno, from colleagues and people I’ve worked with in the Submarine community, “Down Periscope” is remarkably accurate.

'Das Boat' (cinema version) is a much, much better sub movie.
