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?

Captain Ron!

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 - 1954

Next... :)


Correct!

#2 "Set the whomper."



And?

DSK

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 was released.

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
watch that, too.

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.

1996

Actor : Son of Sea Hunt ; )

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