Movies about the Ocean and Boats

I recently watched Mutiny on the Bounty and Knife in the Water which were both great films about boats. I thought it would be a good topic to discus movies about the ocean and boats.

What are some good ones?

I'll start this by recomending The Big Blue which I love even though it's really silly 90% of the time.

Well, this one halfway qualifies, for obvious reasons:

Lakeboat

Charming little movie directed by Joe Mantegna, written by David Mamet.
