Workaholic hotel employee meets First Class golddigger and the FUN starts.

This is a great film to watch and escape the world for 90mins. Great actors/casting, subtle humour, and a real feel good vibe throughout.

It's won a few awards and been compared to "Breakfast at Tiffanys", but I reckon it's heaps better.

Enjoy.

Going through my sub movies again lately: The Hunt for Red October, Run Silent Run Deep, DasBoot(MiniSeries cut 5:40~), Crimson Tide., Enemy Below, K-19, Hunter Killer(Not awful, but not good either).

Also watched Moneyball and The Natural again the other day. The only two Baseball movies you ever need to see! Field of Dreams is alright too.

Anymore Submarine movies? Please no Operation Petticoat.

I'm going to post a link to a thread I started years ago. It's already been said, but I'll repeat. The movie pretty much sucks, but if you want to see actual live color footage of S-Boats and the even older O-Boats, and also original ELCO 77-foot PT boats, it's worth a look. Also, it was a pretty funny thread.

OooooooOoooooo! I'll take pretty much anything at this point. I love older movies anyways. I'll watch any sub movie that doesn't have a pink or yellow submarine in it!

Speaking of "Hunter Killer" I felt old realizing the "hero" boat was not a 688i. When did the fugly duckling Seawolf get the push? LOL! God what an ugly boat!

Speaking of sub movies, I must have been almost 20 before I realized every sub on Earth doesn't have a man named "Cob", it's short hand for Chief of the Boat. Not my proudest moment.....

This is not my usual cup of tea but seeing as how it has been given so many accolades and awards I thought I'd give it a viewing to determine for myself what all the fuss is about and boy am I glad I did.
