To avoid dissapointment...among other greats...

Moby Dick (Huston version)
Dead Calm
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.

Could you have been watching while sober? Kidman rescues hubby by singlhanding
the boat in one of the best scenes...and quite a long one at that. The boat had
run out of fuel.

Was there a boat in that movie? All I can remember is Kidman's rather
pleasant backside. Oh, and Flare-face, which I thought our
Vice-Commodore, Safety, would not approve. Looked like a Paine-Wessex
to me.

The original Mutiny on the Bounty and the remakes are not about sailing. Few
movies are. You may prefer Captain Ron, Waterworld and Wind which have more
sailing content.
