Movie Night!

It's Oscar week, so I figure it's a good time to talk about movies. I saw the remake of "True Grit" last weekend (making a total of 6 of the Best Picture nominees that I saw this year), and thought is was really good -- I decided it was my third favorite Western of all time (behind "Unforgiven" and "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly"). This got me thinking -- what are my favorite movies in the various categories? Here's what I've come up with so far (in no particular order):

Best Low-brow Comedy: Caddyshack
Best Mid-brow Comedy: Office Space

Which brings us to the subject of "Best Boat Flick". This means different things to everyone, and I'd be surprised if any two boats had the same favorite movie at the same time. What makes a movie a good Boat Flick doesn't make it a movie you'd necessarily watch when you're on the beach. Back on Topeka during my JO tour, the favorite seemed to be "The Cutting Edge". As Eng, I never really had time to watch many underway movies, unfortunately.

So what changes or additions would you make to the list above? And what is your favorite "boat flick"?

Ski School. we were 3 days from deployment and they sent us our new movies, but Ski school was listed to be returned. I was movie PO on my fist boat and I "misplaced" the movie. The straight laced JO who was in charge wanted to take me to mast so I told the COB I had the movie and it would be returned when we got underway. Many nights of T&A were enjoyed by all and when the the CO found out he called me into his stateroom and gave me an attaboy! (off the record of course)

Hey, Iwo...I was on that WestPac! Remember Better Off Dead quite well. Sculpin...For some reason the flick of choice was Roadhouse. Michigan was a toss-up between Kentucky Fried Movie and Sea of Love (One of my QMs coined the phrase "Damn, if Pacino looked at me like that, I'd go down to MCLL and kick my OWN ass!") KAM was Down Periscope. MSP, in the advent of personal DVD players, didn't seem to have a clear favorite.

Very good flicks have been missed by most due only to poor promotion or local reception. "Crime Spree", for instance, makes nearly everyone laugh out loud, but there is more than comedy in some of the others.

Favorite American boat flick is still "The Hunt for Red October".

Blue Crush - aka Jessica Alba in a bikini for two hours - was a favorite in our wardroom. I am pretty sure we watched it 3 Saturdays in a row. Idiocracy was also pretty popular.

The rules were simple:

1 Tits & Ass
2 Swordfights
3 No dude ass

"The cutting edge"? I didn't realize there were women on your deployments.

Blogger ex-768 ENG said...

Boat flicks seemed to change with the deployment. We came up with key factors that seemed to pervade most popular boat flicks. They were:
T&A - No big surprise here
O - Ordnance
K - Kung Fu (any martial arts, really)
S - Swordfighting

Most popular boat flicks had at least three of these factors. Interestingly, few movies seemed to have all of them. "Exit Wounds" comes to mind as one that was a popular boat flick for about a month of deployment and actually had all four. "Roadhouse" did pretty well on this scale although it's "S" ranking was questionable.

We later added the negative category of DA (Dude Ass). That knocked "Roadhouse" down a peg in the rating scale.

As far as movies involving submarines, Das Boot is the best IMHO.

Amazingly enough I had not seen Anon @ 9:09's post when I posted mine. Same boat? Blue Crush post-dates my last sea tour.

"The Cutting Edge" is definitely suspect. Reminds me of a memorable movie night when somebody told the A-gangers that an obvious chick flick ("Sense and Sensibility" I think) had a great girl-on-girl scene at the very end. Two hours later the credits rolled and there were some pissed off A-gangers.

"How can any submarine compare to "XO Movie Night" on the ENTERPRISE?"

The stuff seen in XO Movie Night on the 'prize (I've seen most of the unedited versions, not the mutilated clip the press had) was pretty PG compared to the crap that ACTUALLY HAPPENED underway. It was such a common occurrence that nobody really saw a need to video tape funny crap going down.

But the big reason is... We're not target riders. Thats why we not only compare, but trump anything that goes on on the bird farm.

Early 1980s, a movie called "Van Nuys Boulevard" got virtually continuous play on a WestPac on USS Skate. For days on end it was shown in the crew's mess, then in the wardroom, and then in crews's mess again for midrats. Simply non-stop T&A.

Later, I saw that movie was to be shown on a regular, public TV channel. The G-rated version, even with extensive commercial interruptions, was less than a hour long.

On 713 our favorite submarine movie was Down Periscope, it was always a good call. Aside from that we had no one favorite movie. But like many others any movie that had T&A and/or violence was worthwhile. Overall favorites were Sin City, X Men The Last Stand, and episodes of Red vs Blue. One crewman managed to convince folks to watch Brokeback Mountain, shortly during it was banned by the captain. No one complained.

Oh and there were a few nights in a row where I was the only one that really wanted to watch a movie so it was consecutive nights of Godzilla movies!

Guess they forgot to tell that boy (with a small 'b') that works for them down in DC, a Mr. Gates, what the real war geniuses were thinking in NYC. Maybe he doesn't read the NYT?

“As the prospects for another head-on clash of large mechanized land armies seem less likely, the Army will be increasingly challenged to justify the number, size, and cost of its heavy formations,” Mr. Gates warned.

Summer Lovers with Daryl Hannah gave Body Heat a run for the money. As one reviewer said, "This is a film that struggles with limited (but attractive) talent, flamboyantly uneven direction and bad editing... But at the same time, Summer Lovers doesn't blink when looking into freedom of the body, and freedom in relationships."

In other words, pretty much a perfect boat flick.

Back on the Drum during the 78-81 timeframe there was a movie (16mm) called "Lifeforce". The alien chick walking around naked all of the time had the most perfect set of twins. I still watch that when I see it playing on cable.

Eary 90's on the Bremerton, the favorite in port duty section movie was Tremors. We had a TM who loved guns.

682 in the Early 80's. We watched the shit out of Too Hot to Handle. No plot, bad acting but lots of T&A and some fair fight scenes from Samantha Fox.

Also caught Jacqueline Bisset before the Deep in Secrets. Watched reel 3 over and over.
