Three favorite seafaring movies

[Kurt Konrath]

Time to watch this movie again, it must be 60 years since I last watched it. Thanks for bringing this one to light gentlemen.

The Captains sailboat was a great part of the movie.

I love rewatching all the old B&W WWII based navy movies, Away All Boats is a favorite, and I like the ending where Captain says "children help your mother" and the Exec figures it out.

I was born five years after the war and watched those movies as a kid. They're great. Like Run Silent Run Deep. One of my uncles was a submariner-he was killed and buried at the Punch Bowl.

Corvette K-225
Q Ships (1928 silent film) Now if only I could find some good plans, I´d just HAVE to build a model for certain!
The Wreck of the Mary Deare
We Dive At Dawn
The Key (Trevor Howard and William Holden -great WWII sea going tug boat scenes)
In which We Serve
Run Silent Run Deep
Destination Tokyo
Submarine Command
Operation Petticoat (corny as a heck though)
The Eternal Sea
The Gallant Hours
The Silent Enemy 1958
In The Wake of the Bounty (1933 Errol Flynn - may be hard to find)
They Were Expendable (a bit too much ham bone John Ford corn in places but great PT boat scenes. Plus Robert Montgomery WAS a real life PT boat commander)

I'll scrounge around through our dvds in the next few days.. likely a few more lurking about.

I’v watched every movie mentioned here, some of them several times, and I’ve enjoyed them all. Every time I think of one , someone pipes up and mentions it. Great stuff this!

I just found and read a kindle version of the Wreck of the Mary Deare; great story. I didn’t realize that it had been made into a movie.

As Monty Python would say. And now for something completely different, have a look at Our Flag Means Death. Completely inaccurate but is an interesting series. First two episodes were slow to get off the ground but it got better.
