Master and Commander
shortfiction:
I also have, not surprisingly, a bunch of M&C merchandise: soundtrack, two disc special edition DVD, keychain, ship in a bottle, magnet, postcard, two posters.

You're way ahead of me in the 'stuff' department. I do have the soundtrack and special edition DVD, though. :)
I'm a few chapters into a book about the history of the Royal Navy, To Rule the Waves by Arthur Herman. It's nice to have a refresher course in British (and world) history, and it's not too dry and "bookish." I never knew Sir Francis Drake was such a scamp! :P

Sounds good to me! I should also mention that I have watched The Bounty about a dozen or twenty times. Man....what is it about those ships?

I really enjoyed the music. The movie featured "The Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G" by J.S. Bach which is one of my favorites to play on the cello.
I also love to play Concerto Grosso Op. 6 by Corelli on the violin; another work featured in the movie.
The film is well acted and the scenery is spectacular.
I love any movie about those large wooden sailing ships of the past. If you enjoyed "Master and Commander" you might also like "The Bounty" with Mel Gibson. :D

Oh, I love The Bounty and must have watched it about 20 times. Have you seen Russell Crowe in The Sum of Us? I just watched it today. It came out in 1995 and he played a gay man living with his dad. It was sort of a comedy/drama.
