Top 3, huh? Could be tough to narrow down.
1. Top spot goes to Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. Peter Weir is an absolute master of his craft, and it's hard to find a better period naval piece that's as entertaining as this film.
2. Perhaps not a popular pick, but I'm partial to White Squall. It was Ridley Scott a decade before he started to suck and an interesting "based on a true story" kind of tale about building comaraderie out at sea.
3. This is a tough one. Could be Das Boot, All is Lost, even Down Periscope (a much underappreciated comedy), but the one I keep going back to most often these days Noryang: Deadly Sea. It's the third film of an anthology about Admrial Yi Sunsin of Korea. The battle is epic, the history is more on point than its other predecessors, and its a good story about the fragility of wartime collaboration.
Dishonorable Mention/Guilty Pleasure: Battleship. They might as well have called it USS Iowa vs.
s. Dumber than a Michael Bay film, but just try to tell me it doesn't sound like fun.
