2.  The Perfect Storm (2000)

best ocean movies - the perfect storm

This film hits home a bit as someone who grew up in Massachusetts.  Based on a true story, the film tells of the courageous men and women who risk their lives every working day, pitting their fishing boats and rescue vessels against the capricious forces of nature. Their worst fears are realized at sea on Halloween of 1991, when they are confronted by three raging weather fronts which unexpectedly collide to produce the greatest, fiercest storm in modern history.  Clooney, Wahlberg & Diane Lane, John C. Riley, what a cast for an amazing story and movie.
