While there are a lot of books on the subject of naval warfare during the Napoleonic Era, I can't think of very many movies. Here are the ones that I can recall:
Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003) Russell Crowe
Horatio Hornblower - 8 part TV Series (1998-2003) Ioan Griffin
Captain Horatio Hornblower (1951) Gregory Peck
Damn the Defiant! (1962) Alec Guinness
Billy Budd (1962) Peter Ustinov
In a rather less serious tone, "Carry on Jack" (1963), Kenneth Williams, Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills, Charles Hawtrey

All great movies enjoyed them all many times
I agree Bobby. Has to be Master and Commander.
Bligh.
Sorry mate have been in a flying mode lately but back. They are all great but I have to agree with Bligh Master and Commander.
Master and Commander and Captain Horatio Hornblower are nice movies. But I prefer the novels.
