.....Anybody else heard this?.....

If you recall, the good Capitan learned that the French Capitan was not dead, merely wounded and onboard the captured vessel now captianed by the Brit First Officer.

At this point he set off again in pursuit as the movie ended.

The next movie will be a continuation of the first imho

Personal fave line of 'True Grit':

"Fill your hand, you son of a b**ch!"

Here's an Aubrey bear for you

My favourite bit from The Quiet Man:

While Wayne was dragging O'Hara across Ireland, an old woman comes up and says; "Here's a good stick to beat the lovely lady!"

Same here, that cracks me up every time!! Classic! :D

[Irish_Thatcherite]

hehehe, it's good alright! :)

A Jack Aubrey Western Courage bump!

"Did you know him, sir?"
"Read the book."

[irishtenor]

It was only a good stretch of the legs...

don't forget the new "Horatio Hornblower" series starring Ioan Greunfeld (or however you spell it)

I don't think that there are new ones coming out. I recall there were eight made for A&E from 1998 to 2003.

Hugs to you - I LOVE the Aubrey bear!

Yes, the ending of M&C was definitely "up in the air". Full speed ahead towards the sequel, I say!

[Ciexyz]

Thanks for the tip, I'll have to check out the series Nathaniel Drinkwater, by Richard Woodman.

[Alkhin]

Yeah....I wish it was mine!!!

A friend who lives in England did all of that hard work. Ive only gone as far as buying the boots...

[Irish_Thatcherite]

Yes... and the stick was only for walking.....

Kudos to your niece for her service in the US Navy. Best of luck to her, if she chooses to make the Navy her career.

I'll pass that along, thank you for the kind words.

Another good sea film, if you can find it, is "Billy Budd" from the early 60's, starring David McCallum (from NCIS and Man from UNCLE) and Terrence Stamp. Check your library interloan system for a DVD of the operatic version, made approx. 15 years ago by the Brits.

Highly recommended. One of the few movies we enjoyed enough to purchase and watch again.

thank you for the kind words

You're most welcome. Here's giving this fine thread another bump!
