Moby Dick (Huston version)

The Sea Wolf (Curtiz version)
Mutiny on the Bounty (With Charles Laughton-probably still the best)

Have to disagree with you there. once one learns anything about sailing
and sailing ships the original Bounty movie is a joke. The Brando
version is far, far better. And the Gibson version, while not as good as
a movie is closer to being accurate (though still far short of history).

Did not notice any sailing in Dead Calm, only extensive motoring.
