1990's movie where a seaman dies just after retiring

In October 1991, a confluence of weather conditions combined to form a killer storm in the North Atlantic. Caught in the storm was the sword-fishing boat Andrea Gail.

In October 1991, a storm hit the east coast of North America with rains and waves so intense and deadly that the stories of those who faced it spawned a best-selling book and a blockbuster motion picture. Through exciting real-life footage and interviews, this documentary chronicles the true tales of the daring Coast Guard rescuers who put their lives on the line to save those unlucky enough to be caught in the perfect storm.

The Sailor and the Seagull was released by the U.S. Navy in 1949 with a simple goal: encouraging servicemen to re-enlist. In the film, a disgruntled sailor named McGinty complains about the raw deal he believes he is receiving by serving in the Navy. As luck would have it, a seagull comes to release him from service so that he can experience the freedom of civilian life. McGinty soon learns, however, that civilian life means less freedom and less money than he had imagined and quickly jumps at the chance to re-enlist.

Based on a novel by Jean-Claude Izzo, this melancholic movie focuses on three sailors being the last remaining crew members on their ship which is aground in the harbor of Marseille. After the owner has sold the "Aldébaran", only the Lebanese captain Aziz, the Greek Diamantis and the Turk Nelim are stuck on the boat for a lack of prospects. Aziz doesn't want to return to his wife, Diamantis tries to find a girl he left at the age of 20 and Nelim, young and foolish, just wants to have fun...

A film picturing the lives and adversities of fishermen who live and die in the sea.

After World War II the crew of a motor gunboat join together to buy their old vessel and go into business for themselves. This may sound like a laudable scheme, but the business they choose to go into is smuggling.

A raw young officer and a handful of desperate men. A thousand miles of enemy infested ocean: and a ship that would not die.

A through-the-years story with songs and sentiments. A sailor rises from first officer to captain, gets married and has a son, but loses his command when his ship is rammed and the vessel is abandoned to save passengers. For years he lives in the countryside. Then his son, now grown, contacts his father's old shipmates and eventually their ship is put back into commission with its old skipper in command.

At night on a fishing trawler. An injured sailor, an intolerable order, and the death of the captain. Day breaks, and with it, the crew's doubts multiply.
