Maritime Movies
« on: February 06, 2009, 01:03:35 »
Hello all! New here, the name´s Sebastian, from Sweden.

So, to get on topic:

I was wondering if any of you now some good movies with a maritime theme, not military theme.
Both fiction and documentaries are welcome. What id REALLY like are tips on movies/docs. about bigger cargo ships, like dry loaders or bigger. non-english movies? sure.

Perhaps an odd request, hope you all can help!

This: http://cdon.se/film/hurtigruten_365_(no)-587948 (http://cdon.se/film/hurtigruten_365_(no)-587948)

seems to be highlights from a documentary on the Hurtigruten... in Norwegian, but with Swedish subtitles if you want... maybe of interest?

I guess that are more romantic and dramatised movies.

Do you know the show 'Iceberg Cowboys'? About anchor handling tugs off the coast of New Foundland. I guess you still can get it via various websites. I believe it was broadcasted by the National Geographic Channel.

Ahoy HiddenAdol,
First of all: Welcome to this forum.
Maybe this one is a good one too:
Hollands Glorie, or in English: Dutch Glory starring the Steam Tug Furie.
It was original a TV Series, But is now, again, for sale on DVD. Alas it's not subtitled. And what about The Onedin Line? Also a TV Series, but this time from the BBC. 8 seasons, the first 5 are now for sale (in Holland that is). Waiting for the rest. Each season contains 4 DVD's.
Regards
Aad
