Okay, here's one that should be fun.

Name a movie in which any sort of boats figure prominently,

then name the year it was released,

the director,


several of the stars in the movie,

and offer up a one or two sentence plot summary which should
oversimplify everything.

Director: Thom Eberhardt

Year: 1992

Starring: Kurt Russell and Martin Short

Plot Summary: A family in Chicago inherits the yacht formerly owned by
Clark Gable.

These don't have to be "serious" movies do they?

I can give some movie clues in less words.

#1
Humphrey Bogart says "(click click) They were all against
me. (click click) They were against me from the start."

#2 "Set the whomper."

The Caine Mutiny. It is just as good today as when it was first released.

I've got this bizzare tradition of watching The Caine Mutiny once a year -
always on New Year's eve.
Been doing so for about 10-12 years now.

Wierd.

It would only be weird if you didn't enjoy it, but did it
anyway. Personally, I think it's an all-time great movie
but prob'ly wouldn't watch it that often.

You have a treat coming, then. Get a copy of 'Wind' and

Richard,
It took balls for tough guy Bogie to play such a drastically different
character from his normal roles. I wonder if his character was well received
when it was
released.

Tom,
Then it is time you rented the movie. Many times I hear old time movies are
great, and then I am bored to death. This is a great movie with in depth
character study, that is just as real today as when it was 50 yrs ago.

Teenage boys discover discipline and camaraderie on an sailing voyage. A
great coming of age movie.

Paul,
What class used this movie as part of the class? It sounds like the teacher
wanted a day or two off from preparing for class. ; )

No, it wasn't the football coach, it was either a psych class or an
advanced lit.........you are asking me to remember almost 30 years ago ;-)

Back in the day where you had to get the projector from the AV room, and
have tape on hand for when the film broke, etc etc.

Tom, Netflix has the Movie "Wind" and it has a good rating. The race
scenes are exciting, especially if you have done some racing.

I don't doubt Tom, but it is hard to believe he hasn't seen the original
Caine Mutiny. I wonder if he read the book.

Of course I've read the book - Herman Wouk is/was one of my favorite
authors.

Wind is a pretty good sailing movie, through some of the scenes between
the two yachts at the end seem contrived and other worldly. I did get a
giggle out of the "gang" having the welding skills necessary to build a
homebrew aluminum 12-meter boat.

I just called the video store, ain't never heard of it. Looked on
Netflix, ain't never heard of it.

Tom,
There were multiple pages, you didn't go to the other pages. No problem, it
is a nice movie.

How did you find that? I entered Wind in Netflix search and it came
up with every other combination of Wind, including Gone With The, but
not Wind.

Hey, thanks man - appreciate it.
