Naval movies

Some Best Naval War Movies: The Caine Mutiny (1954), Mister Roberts (1955), In Harm’s Way (1965), The Enemy Below (1957), Crimson Tide,…

Of all the movies to depict naval warfare, Master and Commander could be considered the best. It’s absolutely relentless in its commitment to authenticity and the crew of sailors we follow boasts great camaraderie and likeability. Aside from the more recent “In the Heart of the Sea”, we haven’t seen many films about classical naval warfare today.

Tinseltown has plenty to work with. From massive aircraft carriers with awesome firepower to the deadly SEALs, the Navy’s various branches and deeds are a screenwriter’s dream. The following feature films include naval adventures both real and imagined, although you’ll notice the absence of any movies centered around submarines. That’s a list for another time.
