Yes I liked it but did you know it drew inspiration from High Noon?

That reminds me of a really good sci-fi movie called Enemy Mine, with Dennis Quaid and Louis Gosset jr, summary below.

A soldier from Earth crash lands on an alien world after sustaining battle damage. Eventually, he encounters another survivor, but from the enemy species he was fighting. They band together to survive on this hostile world.

The exterior shots for that were filmed in Lanzarote

This rather obscure Charlton Heston helmed flick was pretty good.
Soylent Green (1973)

In the world ravaged by the greenhouse effect and overpopulation, an NYPD detective investigates the murder of a big company CEO.-

Soylent Green was based on Harry Harrison's novel, Make Room! Make Room! The film, made in 1973, is noteworthy as being an early example of a video game being depicted. Shirl (Leigh Taylor Young) is seen playing it towards the beginning of the film, and it has apparently been gotten for her by the apartment's tenant, Simonson. Shirl is "furniture", an attractive girl who comes with the apartment's furnishings and is there to cater to the tenant's requirements. I believe the video game is a real one, and was known in arcades of the time as Computer Space or Computer Space War.

I think this was different wasn't this an American warship chasing a German submarine?

Yes it was, Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens, they were enemies but had enormous respect for one another, real cat and mouse battle it was.
