The Top 5 Movies to Watch if You Love Boats
July 10, 2018
Getting ready to head out on the lake? What better way to get into the mood than to watch some of the best boat movies ever?! There are plenty of movies that feature
boats in one way or another, so you have a long list to choose from. Here are a few of our favorites.
1.
Waterworld (1995) – Crazy as the concept of a water-filled post-apocalyptic world sounds, people still manage to enjoy this film. It is set in a world where the melting of the polar ice caps has left everyone to live on boats and artificial islands. How to adapt? How about growing gills and living in the ocean like Mariner, played by Kevin Costner, did?

2.
Titanic (1997) – Most of the time, you avoid a movie when someone has already told you how it ends. Considering we all know the tragic fate of those on board the White Star liner, this film is captivating as we fall in love with Jack Dawson (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose DeWitte Bukater (Kate Winslet) as we hoped they’d get a happy ending despite the sinking Titanic.

3.
All is Lost (2013) – The reason this one makes the list isn’t because Robert Redford makes a great hero, but because of the lessons that can be learned from his mistakes. His solo voyage runs into trouble (mistake #1 is going solo!) when he collides with a stray shipping container (mistake #2 is not being aware of your surroundings). See if you can spot more things that you would have done differently in this unique survival drama that could help you should you experience a problem one day.

4.
Jaws (1975) – Granted, this one has the potential to make you swear off boats and the water instead, but that cheesy fake shark is downright funny if you think about it. If you really can’t get enough, check out Jaws 2, Jaws 3-D, and Jaws: The Revenge, although we’re pretty sure you’ll find the first one the best of them.

5.
Pirates of the Caribbean (Any of them!) – Add together boats (pirate ships to be specific), swashbucklers, and adventure, and you’ll be going through plenty of popcorn if you watch all five currently available.
