(ORIGINAL) 10 • Terre Haute Tribune-Star • January 2 - 8, 2022 BEST BOAT MOVIES "Lifeboat" (1944) Co-written by novelist John Steinbeck, Alfred Hitchcock's excellent melodrama loads the title craft with survivors of a ship that was targeted and sunk by a U-boat ... with one of the U-boat's crew members also on the lifeboat. "Titanic" (1953) A very "Hollywood-ized" version of the real story, this edition still is made entertaining by a cast that includes Clifton Webb, Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Wagner. "The Caine Mutiny" (1954) Though a good chunk of this drama takes place in a courtroom, a sizable amount of it also unfolds at sea, where said mutiny occurs – and Humphrey Bogart is chillingly great as Captain Queeg. "The Old Man and the Sea" (1958) It's basically Spencer Tracy and the ocean in this adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel. "A Night to Remember" (1958) The British "stiff upper lip" is evident throughout this version of the Titanic saga, made all the more effective by its straightforward approach. "The Last Voyage" (1960) For this massively tense melodrama, director Andrew L. Stone actually seemed to sink a ship, with Robert Stack playing a passenger trying to get his trapped wife (Dorothy Malone) off the vessel in time. And trust us, it turns out to be the nick of time. "Mutiny on the Bounty" (1962) Color and the widescreen process do much for this remake of the classic story, here starring Marlon Brando and Trevor Howard. "Ship of Fools" (1965) Director Stanley Kramer's version of Katherine Anne Porter's novel offers a great cast – including Vivien Leigh, Lee Marvin, Simone Signoret, George Segal and standout Michael Dunn – in the story of a boatload of passengers headed for Germany before World War II. "The Poseidon Adventure" (1972) The film that really kicked off the disaster-movie craze of the '70s, producer Irwin Allen's thriller bonds a group of passengers to climb upward to hoped-for rescue after their ship is overturned by a massive tidal wave. "Jaws" (1975) The trio (Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, Richard Dreyfuss) that pursues a great white shark surely will "need a bigger boat." "Das Boot" (1981) Filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen's intense drama follows a German U-boat crew on a dangerous mission. "Under Siege" (1992) A very good Steven Seagal action exercise, this casts the star as an ex- Navy SEAL whose current role as a cook cloaks his military training ... which comes in quite handy when terrorists overtake the battleship he's stationed on. "Titanic" (1997) Well, of course. Though it incorporates fictionalized elements, director James Cameron's Oscar-winning take on the disaster is the most visually stunning one to date, and it cemented the stardom of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. "The Perfect Storm" (2000) The title cataclysm threatens a fishing-boat captain (George Clooney) and his crew, who are determined to get their latest catch ashore no matter what. "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" (2003) Russell Crowe takes the helm for director Peter Weir in this impressively epic adaptation of novels by Patrick O'Brian.
