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?

Another you would like, though on an American ship, is Moby Dick with Gregory Peck as Captain Ahab.

Originally posted by AikoWell, 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.

Originally posted by GreatSantiniYou have two options for similar movies: 1. those that take the detective genre seriously, and 2. those that are made by the Coen bros.
The Big Lebowski
1. Any movie based on Raymond Chandler's novels. Look Chandler up on Wikipedia for a list.
2. Fargo, Barton Fink, Raising Arizona.

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