Welcome to this week’s Top 5 movies about Boats, brought to you by RankAMovie.com.

Boats have a mystical quality. The salty-sea air, the mist in the wind, and the rocking of the boat. It’s sometimes hard to imagine that a motion camera could capture a film in such an environment. Below are some very good movies that takes place on a boat.

1. The Hunt for Red October
   This boat movie shows Jack Ryan in the early stages of his career. A drama
   involving a Russian submarine and America’s concerns about war.
2. Show Boat
   A movie about the famous Broadway musical. It has colorful tones and great
   songs, but the film doesn’t quite capture the Broadway quality.
3. The Caine Mutiny
   If there’s ever a drama on a warship, it will usual involve a mutiny and court
   martial. The character development is wonderful, and the directing is superb.
4. Mutiny on the Bounty
   Marlon Brando on a boat! We accompany a boat’s crew across the ocean. There’s
   drama, cruelty, and beauty. By the end of the film, you may want to see the
   georgeous scenery of Tahiti.
5. Ship of Fools
   A boat full of interesting people, set in the period right before World War
   II. The characters are entertaining, and the dialogue is pretty good.
