I agree, USS Indianapolis was horrible.
Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws was fantastic.

Re: 10 best nautical movies
All is lost was entertaining. I think we dissected it here on the forum. Redford is still a great actor. Touched home for many sailors.

Master and Commander is still my all-time favorite Tall Ship movie. "You have to choose the lesser of the two weevils"
I recently watched "Wind" and it was a disappointment. Totally unrealistic of how the America's Cup race works. I was in Newport years ago (many years ago 197*? ) and watched how that worked.

I'll toss in Captain Ron as nautical comedy that I have to watch about every five years.

Re: 10 best nautical movies
I just finished a book; sorry, this is not about a movie.
“The Wager” is “A tale of SHIPWRECK, MUTINY and MURDER”, but with a major difference between this book and any movie that is based on an actual event, this book is not fiction. A true adventure. It keeps your attention. Wry well written.
