I ran across a movie on TV (1983, Tommy Lee Jones) called Nate and
Hayes, really enjoyed it!
I remember that one. Good fun. I was trying to remember the title a
few weeks ago, so thanks.
Are there any other old movies like this (probably), even B movies,
lets get a list started.
I bought and converted Nate and Hayes to DVD (since its no longer in
production, was never realeased on DVD, and is no longer sold, thats
legal), and I will be happy to trade with anyone who has another
similar type movie that we can't find.
There is a lot of confusion on this point, so I can see where you'd
get that idea. But actually it's not legal. The current marketing
status of an author's work has no legal impact on whether it's legal
for you to sell or trade it. Right or wrong, the right to do that
rests entirely with the copyright holder for as long as the copyright
lasts.
I expect now that I will be harangued by people with arguments that
boil down to "I want it, he won't let me have it, so I'm gonna take
it. Nobody get's hurt. Information wants to be free!" This
evidently sounds reasonable to many, but it doesn't affect the way the
law is written. It's a pecadillo in my book, but I'm not an attorney
for a movie studio. I won't be trading, but I don't mind contributing
to yet another "best sailing movies" thread.
List:
Master and Commander
Nate and Hayes
Captain Horatio Hornblower (Gregory Peck version - the A&E Hornblower
is good too.)
Dead Calm
Captain Blood
Krakatoa: East of Java
Damn the Defiant!
