27 of 27 · most liked firstThe movie (The Finest Hours) was about one of these T-2 ships (SS Pendleton) & the Coast Guard lifeboat crew who rescued its survivors during a bad winter storm off Cape Cod in 1952 Two of those T-2s broke in half off Massachusetts that same night 😬
unlabelledView post →After listening to the @wtyppod.bsky.social on the sinking of the SS Pendleton, I’m watching the movie about it The Finest Hours. Boy this movie just sank without a trace. Did anyone know that Chris Pine starred in a Coast Guard centered disaster movie?
unlabelledView post →Watched The Finest Hours last night. A decent embellished for filn true story of the Coast Guard's most daring rescue in history. Everything you want from a disaster movie. A yummy Chris Pine, a pretty and feisty bride-to-be on shore, great at-sea action shots. Solid 3.5/5 #fiomsky #moviesky
unlabelledView post →Unfortunately a film came out just the year before called The Finest Hours - it was quite a big release (Disney, I think) & it was felt that it was just too similar to the book title. I *did* mind, yes, but I understood why (and my husband minded because he'd thought of it in the first place!)

Here's how the WH daily diary describes a Jan. 16, 1965 screening of The Finest Hours (1964): "President fell asleep only saw ⅓ of film, woke up for news after."

unlabelledView post →Disaster films have become my comfort watch lately. The Finest Hours feels like an overlooked one. Yes, it's got a formulaic structure, but it's compelling and solidly written with well formed characters and convincing, big-seas drama. the break-up of the ship at the start is an excellent set-up.
unlabelledView post →Watching "The Finest Hours" in my quest to watch any movie that Matthew Maher has a marginally significant role in before NYCC, and I was a bit hesitant because Casey Affleck (the things I do for you, Matt) but: BOAT DISASTER! BOAT DISASTER!! I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE BOAT DISASTERS!!

unlabelledView post →Definitely the first thing that came to mind (The Finest Hours is in a similar vein but I’ve never seen the movie, just read the book)
unlabelledView post →I also recommend checking out Lars and the Real Girl as well. That was his directorial debut and it’s superb, The Finest Hours was his first action movie and that’s decent as well m.youtube.com/watch?v=XNcs...
unlabelledView post →movie night with a "Titanic" and "The Finest Hours" double feature.
unlabelledView post →Knocked up isn't as funny, but I think it's probably a better movie - Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann steal the show in a very real way. If you want something short that's vastly underrated, I loved The Finest Hours. It bombed in box office, and it messes up in the finale, but I still love it.

unlabelledView post →I, Tanya has the jittery steadicam look of a David O Russell movie, Cruella has that over art-directed textured-commercial look of the Disney live-action remakes, The Finest Hours plays towards old-fashioned studio filmmaking with a sturdy “plant-the-camera-and-point-it-at-the-scene” dependability

unlabelledView post →An okay film with a few tense moments that kept me watching. My ★★★ review of The Finest Hours on Letterboxd boxd.it/9KBzLL #filmsky
unlabelledView post →The Finest Hours (2016): This one is a wonderful movie. Cinematography, screenplay and acting are perfectly balanced.
unlabelledView post →"... It seems to keep finding new fans and more love, exactly as it deserves. It's an absolute gem of a film, and its failure was on Disney's mishandling of it, not the film's lack of quality." My ★★★★ review of #TheFinestHours on @Letterboxd. boxd.it/6XPC2P
unlabelledView post →Good. Nothing more than that, but nothing less either. 'The Finest Hours' is a little bit too on the nose in parts, I felt like some of the cast were overacting here and there - especially Casey Affleck (Ray), not that he is bad though. Chris Pine is enjoyable in the lead role. Pacing is iffy, but the effects are excellent - from the ships to the water scenes, impressive! The (true) story, meanwhile, is as hearty as you'd expect. Worth watching.
positive · AI labelView post →First and foremost this film reminds me of Hacksaw Ridge, second and no less important it's just as good as the afore mentioned film in the sense that the main character is just as law-bound as the religious lad in Hacksaw going about his day saving people's lives in the middle of a hurricane, ergo in The Finest Hour's case while on sea - with a life-guard boat, just as feature-some as the soldier saving soldiers in the middle of a war without shooting a f#cking gun! And, supposedly, this…
positive · AI labelView post →> A very much acceptable film that inspired by a real event except long pauses and too much ineffective sentiment. A disaster drama-thriller based on the true account of the 1952. So much better film than I anticipated. But there are a few things I did not like; like the frequent pauses in the narration where nothing really happens other that space given for the emotional background score to pull the viewers in. In a result, it did not work, definitely not for me. Yeah, in the many important…
