Do you know of any "Cruise-related" movies?

[Pooker]

Just wondering if there are any movies that have been made around cruises? I thought it would be fun to check some of them out if they exist. Any suggestions?

I just rented a Blockbuster movie, but haven't watched it yet:

 

"The Legend of 1900". It says it's about a most unusual man who was born and lives on a cruise ship all his life.

 

I'll come back here in a coupla days and let you know if it was worth renting.:confused:

Here are a few more.

 

Charlie Chan's Murder Cruise (1940)

Deep Rising (1998)

Going Overboard (1989)

Intrepid (2000)

Ship of Fools (1965)

Boat Trip (2002)

[CaptData]

...and then there's the Love Boat TV Series.

If we're including tv, one of my favorites is a Columbo episode where Columbo investigates a murder on a cruise ship (an old Princess ship). The murderer is played by Robert Vaughn (the Man from UNCLE).

My all time favorite film, Now Voyager, starring Bette Davis. Great old black and white film.

 

Out To Sea, starring Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau. Funny movie about two guys who are dance hosts on a cruise ship.

[Pooker]

Thanks everyone...looks like I have some movies to watch.

Saw OUT TO SEA a while back and saw it again last night. Too funny. That is a must see if you feel like watching a funny movie and like to cruise.

[hajekfam]

Ghost Ship with Julianna Marguiles -2002 - about the salvage of passenger liner. Ending sort of made look twice at the crew when boarding our cruise ship.

[Cotton]

Pooker, I just finished watching The Legend of 1900. Not what you have in mind, I'm sure. Not about modern day cruising......but a very good movie. I didn't want it to end.

And the Nanny episode aboard Celebrity.

1997 - Speed 2: Cruise Control (Sandra Bullock)[/b]

 

I just sailed on the ship from this film in March (Seabourn Legend) A really great cruise!

[tomc]

Speed 2: Cruise Control is a great dramatic film if you've never cruised. If you have, it's a howler; just one of the funniest things you'd ever want to see, what with all the mistakes.

This Legend of 1900 movie, is it a new one? I haven't heard of it before. Comedy or what?

[cruise.freak]

Watched one a couple of weeks ago called After the Sunset. Newer movie and has a cruise ship in it. Pretty good movie!

Gotta love Salma Hayek! (Oh, yeah, it also has Pierce Brosnan in it...for the ladies in the crowd.)

Danielle Steel wrote a book called "Crossings" set in the 1930's and this was made into a TV movie. It starred Jane Seymour, Lee Horsley and Cheryl Ladd. Much of it was set on an ocean voyager crossing.

 

I watched a TV movie called the "Bermuda Triangle" a few years ago. It was about these people who go on a fishing trip from one of the caribbean islands and get lost at sea. They run into this old ocean voyager that had disapeered back in the 50's and they board it. That was a really creepy movie so I really don't recomend it though.

I watched "Out to Sea" last night and laughed myself silly. I've got Speed 2 all ready to go tonight.

You may laugh yourself silly watching Speed 2, too, except that it's not meant to be a comedy. Seriously, it's not all that bad, but it was a serious disappointment after the excellence of the original Speed.

I still have it, so I'll go look. Nope, it was released in 1999. I was just looking through the Drama section, and saw it. Sounded interesting...and I thoroughly enjoyed it. No, not a comedy, but I got several chuckles from some of the dialogue/scenes. It's - different. This guy was born on the ship, 'adopted' by the crew and captain, and lived his entire life there as the self-taught piano player. Hard to explain, but a very interesting movie. I'm SO glad I rented it.:)

Quote IMDB: Between Two Worlds

 

Several people are killed in a London air raid. They each awake aboard a strange ship which will deliver each of them either to heaven or hell. Their lives and stories are revealed as they individually begin to realize where they are.

 

 

Old Black and white movie I caught a month ago, Hell is when they make you get off the boat

[Stvandon]

Sound kinda familiar? "LOST"???????

[elron]

"Everybody Loves Raymond" has an episode where he and his Mom go on a cruise.

[Allis154]

One old cheesy movie is "Death Cruise". It is pretty old, but entertaining.
