Are you sure the palm tree overboard wasn't "The Caine Mutiny"? The one about the time travelling aircraft carrier was "The Final Countdown" (1980) with Kirk Douglas and Martin Sheen

[Guest]

Nope Kiwi, I remember the Caine Mutiny, Humphery Bogart played a tough USN captain on a rather sloppy ship. He had the habit of rolling ball-bearings through his fingers, a trick my elder brother tried to emulate but never succeeded. My father reckoned a conjurer/magican`s hands were used for the close-ups. Cant remember anything else about the film except it ended with a court-martial. Black and white ..the palm tree film was in colour and very lightweight . " :fish2:...what Palm tree ?"

[Guest]

Adzam...that film you mentioned with the aircraft carrier going back through time was "The Final Countdown" with Kirk Douglas and Michael Sheen...where they sail through the storm and end up back in 1942 just prior to Pearl Harbour...... I have it here on DVD. I mentioned it on the Aviation movies post because of the flying bits.

You can all sleep easy now

"Fitzcoraldo", up the Amazon on a 1900s passenger ferry with rubber prospecters, hostile indians etc. Directed by Werner Herzog. The documentary about the making of the film is just as good.

[Guest]

All added. Duncan's on overload! :welldone: Scottie, is The Perfect Storm a marine type film? Haven't seen it yet so dunno...

My bit-

The Perfect Storm is a George Cluny movie about a swordfish trawler that was caught in a huge storm and sunk. A good one! I watched it twice.
