Having just watched Spencer Tracy and Freddie Bartholomew in Captains Courageous for about the 10th time I was wondering if members had their own favorite seafaring movies. My own list includes a dozen or more but to keep things a bit on the shorter side, it would be interesting, for me at least, to know other members' favorite FOUR seafaring films. It took a bit of thinking for me to keep it to a top four.

My top four in no particular order (at least at this moment in time)
Captains Courageous
Master and Commander
Das Boot
Mutiny on the Bounty
- 1935 version with Charles Laughton as William Bligh

I should add; In Away All Boats, the ship’s Captain who is trying to cope with PTSD from Guadalcanal has the carpenter build him a sailboat to be sailed in fleet anchorages between invasions. The plans were taken from Rudder Magazine. The resulting boat is a Thistle Class Sailboat.

As a proud Thistle sailor, owner, and builder, ( built from a kit) how could I not like this movie!
