Advice on good Nautical Movies

[Sleepy]

My Father in Law is staying with us over Christmas.

He is in his early 80's and, being an old whaler from Durbin, loves everything nautical.

I thought I would arrange a few movies to watch but I've never really been that keen on nautical movies myself.

I have Master and Commander - which I quite enjoyed.

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Mutiny on the Bounty?

(And don't say Pirates of Penzance!)

See if you can sit him down on Boxing Day to watch the start of the "Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race" starts tv coverage about 11am NSW time

Ahhh, the Sydney to Hobart, what a spectical.
There's always beautiful looking yachts there. Myself, I love the older sleeker looking ones.

U142, Titanic, The Poseidon......ahhhh maybe not.

U142, Titanic, The Poseidon......ahhhh maybe not.

Thanks, yeah I think he would be bit bored with Titanic - more romance than adventure. But I'll have a look at that U142.

If he likes Naval movies, there is "The Battle Of The River Plate", "Above Us The Waves","Run Silent Run Deep" all movies from 50's and 60's but quite good.


cheers
