Letterboxd Showdown List #5: Boat Life!

My Letterboxd Showdown Lists

For this addition to the Letterboxd Showdown list collection, we're taking a look at the best films that take place mostly on a boat! Letterboxd was pretty specific that these had to be movies about boats, and not subs or spaceships. I also took to heart the idea that a majority of the film had to take place there; I tried to only include films that had at least half of the action taking place on the boat.

My qualifications for this list's rankings weren't concrete; I kind of did a mixture between how good the film is to how much it portrayed the life of being on the boat.
