The Best Movies About The Ocean – Top Ocean Films
16. Fools Gold (2008)
McConaughey, Hudson & Donald Sutherland … cmon! This film is a must for anyone’s list of the best ocean movies. Treasure hunter Finn (Matthew McConaughey) has sunk his marriage to Tess (Kate Hudson) and his trusty boat in his obsessive quest to find the legendary Queen’s Dowry. When he finds a vital clue that may finally pinpoint the treasure’s whereabouts, he drags Tess and her boss, billionaire Nigel Honeycutt, along on the hunt. But Finn is not the only one interested in the gold; his former mentor-turned-enemy Moe Fitch (Ray Winstone) will stop at nothing to beat him to it.
15. Titanic (1997)
You may be thinking why this film is on our list of the best movies about the ocean. It was the most expensive movie ever made at that time & directed by filmmaker and renowned ocean explorer James Cameron – that’s why. Titanic is not really an ocean movie despite what it looks like from the outside. It just didn’t float our boat. It’s more about life in 1912, perhaps that’s why.
It’s an action-packed romance set against the ill-fated maiden voyage of the Titanic; the pride and joy of the White Star Line and, at the time, the largest moving object ever built. She was the most luxurious liner of her era, the “ship of dreams”, which ultimately carried over 1,500 people to their death in the ice cold waters of the North Atlantic in the early hours of April 15, 1912…. because of greed.
