MASTER & COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD

Captain Jack Aubrey (Russell Crowe) and ship's surgeon Stephen Maturin (Paul Bettany) face a French privateer during the Napoleonic Wars.

Peter Weir directed this 2003 naval epic from a John Collee script based on three novels from Patrick O'Brian's long series depicting Aubrey and Maturin's adventures. (The Far Side of the World, the main source, was actually set in the War of 1812 with the enemy an American ship, but that wasn't likely to play well with American moviegoers!) It won Oscars for Lee Smith's editing and Russel Boyd's cinematography.

A watch party for historical movies on Friday nights.
