I think this one ranks up on the charts. I’ve always liked it.

I haven't seen that one yet. As far as "Age of Sail" movies go, "Master & Commander" is the best I've ever seen.

It’s a great Classic movie that needs more consideration. I would be nice if they came out with a sequel or remake. Master and Commander was also a close comparison.


There is also :

Part of what made Master & Commander such a great movie in my eyes was the cast. Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany were amazing.

Yeah I’ve always liked Gregory Peck ever since this film. He seems like level-headed guy. Almost reminds me of Captain Jean-Luc Picard or Visa versa. Two great captains that know how to run a ship and crew. Just like Russell Crowe in Master & Commander.. I hope there will be another one these great movies sometime soon.

I've read Sci-Fi Books that are similar to these movies. One that comes to mind is Ivan the Terrible in a few of David Weber's books. But Books are books and Movies are movies. I’d rather see it on the big screen. After! I’ve read the book first. Ha Ha!
