The Best Movies About The Ocean – Top Ocean Films
12. Into The Blue (2005)
Similar to Fool’s Gold, but a little better and a little edgier. Divers Sam (Jessica Alba) and Jared (Paul Walker) love life in the Bahamas. But when friends Bryce (Scott Caan) and Amanda (Ashley Scott) visit, the couple take them on a treasure-hunting trip, where they discover more than they bargained for: a downed airplane full of cocaine alongside a famous shipwreck. Unknown to Sam and Jared, Bryce makes a fatal mistake and decides to sell the cocaine — which angers a group of drug dealers, who are now in hot pursuit of the divers.
11. Captain Phillips (2003)
It’s hard to beat an ocean film about a remarkably true story. Add Tom Hanks, some modern day pirates and US Navy Seals and its nearly impossible to beat the entertainment. Captain Phillips is clearly one of the best movies about the ocean.
In April 2009, the U.S. containership Maersk Alabama sails toward its destination on a day that seems like any other. Suddenly, Somali pirates race toward the vessel, climb aboard and take everyone hostage. The captain of the ship, Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), looks to protect his crew from the hostile invaders, and their leader, Muse (Barkhad Abdi) who absolutely steals the show. The pirates are after millions of dollars, and Phillips must use his wits to make sure everyone survives and returns home safely.
