The Best Movies About The Ocean – Top Ocean Films
14. Master Commander (2003)
Though its a fictional film, this ocean movie was meticulously researched to convey an accurate portrayal of the brash Captain Jack Aubrey. In 1805, aboard the HMS Surprise, Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and his trusted friend, the ship’s scholarly surgeon, Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany), are ordered to hunt down and capture a powerful French vessel off the South American coast. Though Napoleon is winning the war and the men and their crew face an onslaught of obstacles, including their own internal battles, “Lucky Jack” is determined that nothing will stop the Surprise from completing its mission.
13. Pirates of the Caribbean (2003)
This movie was a blockbuster when it came out. While not a gripping drama like some of the others on our list to the best movies about the ocean. Pirates exceeds most in sheer entertainment. Capt. Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) arrives at Port Royal in the Caribbean without a ship or crew. His timing is inopportune, however, because later that evening the town is besieged by a pirate ship. The pirates kidnap the governor’s daughter, Elizabeth (Keira Knightley), who’s in possession of a valuable coin that is linked to a curse that has transformed the pirates into the undead. A gallant blacksmith (Orlando Bloom) in love with Elizabeth allies with Sparrow in pursuit of the pirates.
