(Movie, 1990) The Hunt for Red October
Interesting because the plot focuses on coordination rather than combat. Also just generally pretty engaging and suspenseful.
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.
