Films to watch over Christmas

[Red]

We like to do a bit of serious TV watching over Christmas. Can anyone recommend a good film to watch so that I can order it in time. I like something with boats in but I am getting rather tired of the same old ones and wonder if anyone can find any other boating type films that we can keep onboard. One of my favourites is Sahara as I am a fan of Huntons. I never get fed up of African Queen, but my women does not like watching Titanic when we are away from the berth...........

One of my fave boating films is Caddyshack which has a hilarious powerboating sequence with a great ending (unless you're a yottie). Otherwise Apocalypse Now is just a great film with the patrol boat being the star of the film IMHO!

That should keep you busy for a while.

Pirates of Caribbean - all - Depp is top class - with his Keith Richard inspired accent - keep an eye out for KR
