Imagin you are fond of certain movies. And you would like to know if more movies alike exist. Lets see if this thread can be of use.

I currently am very fond of the Master & Commander movie, and the Hornblower movies. Are there more nice movies out there like these two adventurously type of movies, playing on an eightteenth / nineteenth century (British) ship?

Mutiny on the Bounty in any of its three versions: in 1935 starring Charles Laughton and Clark Gable, in 1962 with Trevor Howard and Marlon Brando, and in 1984 (The Bounty) with Anthony Hopkins and Mel Gibson. Another you would like, though on an American ship, is Moby Dick with Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab.

Well, Mutiny on the Bounty is the same era as the Aubreyiad -- in fact, Aubrey has Lemuel Grant on board as a first leftenant when he takes the Worcester to India, I believe. There's some discussion of what happened on Bligh's ship.

More importantly, Aiko, why haven't you joined up with fugetsu and me in the clan H.M.S. Surprise?

Actually, you know that might be a good idea. Kind of like a Pandora for movies.

My movie: Mulholland Drive

You have two options for similar movies: 1. those that take the detective genre seriously, and 2. those that are made by the Coen bros.

1. Any movie based on Raymond Chandler's novels. Look Chandler up on Wikipedia for a list.

2. Fargo, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona.

'Star Trek 2 : The Wrath of Khan'. I know it's not keeping the time period but as far a ships doing battle you can't do much better. BTW, 'Master and Commander' is an excellent film.

Apart from the rest of David Lynch, you could try Un Chien Andalou, to which the likes of Lynch owes a lot, or A Scanner Darkly, which takes paranoia to a new entertainment level.

Funny you say that. I was considering buying "Un Chien Andalou" today (I have some money left on an amazon.com gift certificate). I saw it in film class in college. Excellent.

I think I may have seen "A Scanner Darkly", but I'm not sure. It sounds familiar. Thanks, I'll definitely check it out.

It's a recent film based on a book by Philip K. Dick. I was overjoyed to see it in my local video shop. Now I'm in the market for a scramble suit...
