Sailing Movies: we hear from arnold the cockroach and others

arnold


A few days ago I suggested to my readers that we have one of our group writing projects, this time on the topic of sailing movies. What is the best sailing movie? Or what is the worst? Or what is the "insert your own superlative here" sailing movie?

The idea was that folks would write blog posts on this topic and I would post links to them here. But my readers are such independent spirits that many of them decided to "work outside the box" and attack this topic in different ways.



arnold the cockroach chose to leave a comment on a totally different post saying he would enter the writing contest but he has never seen a sailing movie

ye gods

where is o docker when we need him



Dan and the ubiquitous "Anonymous" left answers in the comments to my original post with a whole list of movies that they like.

Doc Häagen-Dazs pointed out that he hadn't seen All is Lost so he's not sure if he likes it or not but he had already written a post about it at Intensity. Hmmm

Oh, and if we are allowed to enter posts we have already written, I would like to point out that I wrote a movie review post last November HIDE AWAY: Most Realistic Move About Cruising Ever.

Thank goodness some people put more effort into this project than I did...

Part of the inspiration for this project came from @wetpantssailing on Twitter who had suggested that I should write a post on Top 10 Annoying Sailing Movies. I didn't do it so he spent 10 minutes to do it himself on his blog. Check out 10 Top Worst Sailing Movies.

And Pam who writes with her husband Doug the excellent Improper Course blog says she hasn't seen many sailing movies so she made a Sailing Movies Shopping List of movies she would like to see this holiday season.

And there you have it. As Forrest Gump almost said, a group writing project is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.





So now it's your turn.

The project is open until Thursday December 5th.

Full details of how to enter at Best or Worst Sailing Movie Ever.
