    Default Napoleonic Era Naval War Movies

    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

    Master and Commander and Captain Horatio Hornblower are nice movies. But I prefer the novels.
