MONDAY MOVIE MEME

Molly looked around for a weekly meme about movies and did not have any luck. So therefore she decided to start her own! Andy will play along as well - hopefully you will too. Go to your blog and create your own post on the topic, linking back to us in your post, then come back and leave a link to your post here in our Comments section.

This week's movie topic is all about Water...

This past weekend we went to Boston to see the Tall Ships. Seeing them docked throughout the city was like walking back in time. Climbing aboard these beautiful old vessles on a sparkling summer day was a real treat. The only thing that could have made it better was if Johnny Depp was on board as Captain Jack Sparrow. Which got us to thinking about the Pirates series and other movies filmed in and around the sea, lakes, rivers and streams. Here are some that we came up with. Share some of the water based movies that sprung to mind on your blog and link back here at The Bumbles. And don't forget to visit your fellow participants!

Dead Calm - 1989 (Pure thriller featuring the lovely Nicole Kidman before she became a super star and Billy Zane as a psycho. Aside from sea-sickness, why Molly will never spend the night on a sailboat)

A River Runs Through It - 1992 (Robert Redford film featuring Brad Pitt not acting horribly - who knew fly fishing could be so touching? Gorgeous images - even beyond Brad)

Titanic - 1997 (Epic disaster turned romance which coincidentally enough also features Billy Zane as a not so nice guy. FYI, it is incredibly difficult not to re-enact the mushy scene on the bow while on a Tall Ship)

The Perfect Storm - 2000 (Clooney, Marky Mark and disaster at sea. Eye candy and action surrounding a very sad and true tale of a storm that took the lives of Gloucester fishermen)

Open Water - 2003 (We haven't actually seen this one but the curiousity factor is a big draw. Director makes based on true story movie on the cheap filming actors in real shark infested waters to show their characters' experience after accidentally being left behind by a scuba boat)

I'm On A Boat - 2009 (OK - this isn't a movie - it's a digital short from Saturday Night Live. But it's all that ran through our minds while we were on the Tall Ships and kept us giggling for hours. It is very immature and this uncensored version has extremely bad language. Right up our alley.)
