Surprised nobody's done this one yet.

For me its -

1. Captains Courageous with Spencer Tracy - Great role for Tracy as the Portuguese fisherman, one of his best although he often said he didn't feel good about his performance. And as a little kid growing up in a Pork-a-cheese household, I thought it was pretty neat.

2. The Perfect Storm - I have no idea how many times I watched it, I've lost count.

I would think "A River Runs Thru It" and "Moby #^&#^&#^&#^&" qualify.

That just has to be "The Perfect Storm". That movie was just great.

I know it is not a movie, but I love that episode of the Simpsons When Marge and Homer go to Catfish Lake for a marriage retreat, and Homer spends the whole time trying to catch General Sherman, the 500lb catfish. Eventually he throws it away to save his marriage even though the fish "would have made him a legend." Good episode until he throws it back. I would have ruined my marriage.

"Big Fish" was good :laugha: OK, some of my favorites "A River Runs Through It" as it is a "fishing movie" not a "movie about fish". Movies about fish I must say of course "JAWS" and "Moby #^&#^&#^&#^&" are two of my favorites. "Old Man And The Sea" is a classic with Spencer Tracy. One that nobody mentioned that was also a pretty good movie with fishing in it was "On Golden Pond".:huh:

Oh man, shame on me, the only comedy movie I like better than Grumpy Old Men is Grumpier Old Men.

That's what my wife calls me - hey, c'mon I ain't all that old.
