Also a great movie that i like is The Perfect Storm... they show you a real-life situation, and what must be done in a time like that.

Barry's Response - I've never seen it but here's a description: A fisherman named Billy Tyne, played by George Clooney), is not doing so well. He meets a successful fisherwoman named Linda Greenlaw, (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio).

Mark Wahlberg plays Bobby Shatford who needs to pay a debt to a lawyer and go live with his new girlfriend Christine Cotter (Diane Lane). He goes fishing to earn the needed money.

These guys join a crew of others and go out into the open water for better fishing. A storm comes and Billy decides to risk it for a good swordfish haul. The first storm, hurricane Grace, merges with other storms and becomes much stronger, and a historic event forms.

The so-called Halloween Storm escapes accurate weather forecasting and adequate warnings. Guess who does not find out about this turn of meteorological events. The coast guard gets involved and we have a grand old time.

Apparently, the special effects outshine the actual story, even if it partly based on a true story.
