I'm not claustrophobic, but there was a scene in Jim Thompson's The Getaway involving hiding out for days in very (very) small caves that you could only get to by going underwater first. It got to me pretty good. (They didn't put that bit in the movie, replacing it instead with a scene where Doc and his wife hide in a compacting garbage truck, which didn't get to me nearly as much.)
