dolittle Posted August 13, 2020 #27 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I have never seen it but in the early 60s Walt Disney went to Europe on the S.S. United States .He was so impressed he came back and ordered a movie to be filmed on the U.S. I think it is called ship ahoy or something like that . It has Fred MacMurray and his family going to Europe. There are clips on u-tube but not of the ship. It is more than likley it is on there streaming service . Would love to hear about it if you have seen it. B.T.Y.I drive buy the S.S. United States every week on my way to the beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OP didn't ask about "good" movies. I just offered up a couple that came to mind that no one else had referenced yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odysseus, a cruise ship of Greece's Epirotiki Line. First launched in 1961 as the Princesa Isabel, Odysseus ended her career as the Lucky Star, a casino ship based out of Singapore. She was scrapped in Alang, India in April 2008, sixteen years after her appearance in this movie. Also another point in Ghost Ship the only real ship used was the Tugboat Sorry about including non cruise ship movies Cheers Don Hi Don: Right on the Mark with your reply. Another Greek ship was used in the filming of the less than memorable Cuba Gooding Jr film Boat Trip, Royal Olympic’s Olympic Voyager which was designed to be the speediest cruise ship when built around 2000.

Das Boot, in particular, was the most significant to me movie of submarine warfare that I had experienced. It remains special. If one visits the National World War II Museum in New Orleans, there is a special, extra cost pass required, for the USS Tang "experience". I think I can guarantee you that you will leave that "experience"--not a movie--but an experience that will be profoundly moving and maybe even more appreciative of the sacrifices made by those who served during World War II. YES! I did a tour of the USS Pompano in San Francisco. What an incredible eye opener. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would call the "The USS Tang Experience" very sobering. I just finished reading a book titled Fatal Dive that was lost early in WW II because of the same reason that the USS Tang was lost. I don't think the "whomevers" who were responsible for the development and approval of those defective torpedoes were ever held accountable. Maybe St. Peter did so.

I'm going to continue the Bogart theme. A surly captain, a well-worn riverboat, no amenities, but a very proper passenger.

No. But sometimes you have to indulge us our shortcomings. Don’t be so quick to write off Sabrina - the ultimate scene - the denouement if you will - took place on a teak promenade deck among the deck chairs, as the ship passed lower Manhattan heading out to sea. That’s pretty cruisey. Edited August 14, 2020 by navybankerteacher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Hawn plays a rich ***** who's on her luxury yacht with her equally "I'm rich" husband. She winds up falling overboard and getting amnesia. She's claimed by a handyman she hired to remodel her onboard closet and then refused to pay him for it. He says she's his wife (and mother to his 4 kids) to get paid back for the job.
