My choice, SONG OF THE SEA , is a magical animated movie from 2014 perfect for kids and grownups alike. It's a beautiful story about family, it covers Irish legends, and … it’s an adventure!
Directed by Tomm Moore, who also directed The Secret of Kells , another great film, Song of the Sea takes us on an incredible journey into a world of myths and wonders. The story is all about Ben, a young boy, and his mute sister Saoirse, who turns out to be a selkie and who has to free faerie creatures from the Celtic goddess Macha.
Unlike most animated movies today, Song of the Sea uses hand-drawn art, which gives it a unique and artistic look. The colours are so vibrant, it’s a real visual treat.
This film reminds us that even when things are tough, there's always hope and magic in the world. An enchanting movie with amazing animation, a touching story, a fantastic score by Bruno Coulais, and plenty of heart. Watch it together with the family, I can heartily recommend it!

Last Ship
The series tells the story of the fictional American destroyer USS Nathan James (DDG-151). At the end of a month-long, top-secret mission in the Arctic, her commander learns that in the meantime about 60-70% of the world's population has already been killed by a rapidly spreading viral pandemic, governments and state institutions have largely collapsed, chaos and anarchy reign almost everywhere on the planet. The ship's crew, including microbiologists Dr. Rachel Scott and Quincy Tophet, are among the few survivors who have not yet had contact with the pathogen. The USS Nathan James is then ordered back home. In the meantime, the two scientists on board try to produce a cure for the deadly virus, since Dr. Scott has succeeded in deciphering the structure of the virus.

Finding Nemo is a 2003 American computer-animated comedy-drama adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios for Walt Disney Pictures. Directed by Andrew Stanton with co-direction by Lee Unkrich, the screenplay was written by Stanton, Bob Petersonand David Reynolds from a story by Stanton. The film stars the voices of Albert Brooks, Ellen DeGeneres, Alexander Gould, Willem Dafoe and Geoffrey Rush. It tells the story of an overprotective clownfish named Marlin (Brooks) who, along with a forgetful regal blue tang named Dory (DeGeneres), searches for his missing son Nemo (Gould). Along the way, Marlin learns to take risks and comes to terms with Nemo taking care of himself.
Pre-production of the film began in early 1997. The inspiration for Finding Nemo sprang from multiple experiences, going back to Stanton's childhood, when he loved going to the dentist to see the fish tank, assuming that the fish were from the ocean and wanted to go home. To ensure that the movements of the fish in the film were believable, the animators took a crash course in fish biology and oceanography. Thomas Newman composed the score for the film.

Sounds like a nice movie, but are you sure it has something to do with the sea or ocean?
The Deep is a 1977 adventure film based on Peter Benchley's 1976 novel of the same name.
While scuba-diving near shipwrecks off Bermuda, vacationing couple David Sanders and Gail Berke recover a number of artifacts, including an glass ampoule of amber-coloured liquid and a medallion bearing a woman's image and the letters "S.C.O.P.N." (meaning "Santa Clara, ora pro nobis", for "Saint Clara, pray for us") and a date, 1714. An unknown sea creature suddenly grabs Gail's wood baton as she probes the wreck's crevices. Panicked, she gets loose from the strap, and the baton's end is left shredded. Sanders and Berke seek advice from historian and treasure-hunter Romer Treece on the medallion's origin. He identifies the item as Spanish and takes an interest in the couple.
The man running the dive shop notices the ampoule the couple found, which in turn attracts the attention of Henri "Cloche" Bondurant, a local drug kingpin the dive shop owner works for. When Clouche unsuccessfully tries to buy the ampoule, he begins terrorizing the couple. The ampoule contains medicinal morphine from the Goliath, a ship that sank during World War II with a cargo of munitions and medical supplies. The Goliath is off-limits to divers due to the still-live explosives. Treece concludes that a recent storm has exposed the morphine and unearthed a much older wreck containing Spanish treasure.
Treece makes a deal with Cloche to retrieve the ampoules for a million dollars, which Cloche can illegally resell for over three million, while Treece also secretly searches for the treasure. Cloche gives him three days to recover the morphine. Sanders, Berke and Treece make several dives to the wrecks, recovering thousands of ampoules from Goliath and several additional artifacts from the Spanish wreck. They also encounter a huge moray eel, which lurks inside the vessel, and was what previously attacked Berke. Adam Coffin, the only survivor from Goliath, joins the venture, but his loyalty when he feels slighted by Treece. When Cloche's men arrive and dump bait into the water to attract sharks, Coffin tells Treece he probably fell asleep without noticing they were in trouble.
Through research in Treece's library, the trio reconstruct the lost treasure ship's history, locate a list of valuable items, including a gold pinecone filled with pearls with the letters "EF" engraved on it. The initials identifies Elisabeth Farnese, a noblewoman for whom they were made by the King of Spain. Sanders is determined to locate at least one item on the list to establish provenance, as without it there is lesser value to the treasure. Treece wishes to destroy the Goliath to put the morphine out of Cloche's reach. Cloche tries to thwart them and recover the morphine himself. Cloche's henchman murders Treece's long-time friend Kevin. Adam betrays them and is killed by triggering Treece's booby-trap in the lighthouse tower when he tries to steal the recovered morphine stashed there. During the final dive, Cloche is killed by the giant eel and his divers die in the Goliath's explosion that Reece ignites. Treece has recovered a gold dragon necklace that provides the treasures needed provenance.

Into the Blue is a 2005 American action-thriller film starring Paul Walker and Jessica Alba with Scott Caan, Ashley Scott, Josh Brolin and James Frain in supporting roles. The film was directed by John Stockwell and was co-distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) and Columbia Pictures.
Titanic is a 1997 American disaster film directed, written, produced, and co-edited by James Cameron. Incorporating both historical and fictionalized aspects, it is based on accounts of the sinking of RMS Titanic in 1912. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio star as members of different social classes who fall in love during the ship's maiden voyage. The film also features Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Gloria Stuart, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Victor Garber, David Warner, Suzy Amis and Bill Paxton.
Cameron's inspiration for the film came from his fascination with shipwrecks. He felt a love story interspersed with the human loss would be essential to convey the emotional impact of the disaster. Production began on September 1, 1995, when Cameron shot footage of the Titanic wreck. The modern scenes on the research vessel were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron had used as a base when filming the wreck. Scale models, computer-generated imagery and a reconstruction of the Titanic built at Baja Studios were used to recreate the sinking. The film was co-financed by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox; Paramount handled distribution in the United States and Canada while 20th Century Fox released the film internationally. Titanic was the most expensive film ever made at the time, with a production budget of $200 million. Filming took place from July 1996 to March 1997.
Titanic was released on December 19, 1997. It was praised for its visual effects, performances (particularly those of DiCaprio, Winslet, and Stuart), production values, direction, score, cinematography, story and emotional depth. Among other awards, it was nominated for 14 Academy Awards and won 11, including Best Picture and Best Director, tying Ben-Hur (1959) for the most Academy Awards won by a film. With an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion, Titanic was the first film to reach the billion-dollar mark. It was the highest-grossing film of all time until Cameron's next film, Avatar (2009), surpassed it in 2010. A number of re-releases have pushed the film's worldwide total to $2.257 billion, making it the second film to gross more than $2 billion worldwide after Avatar. It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry in 2017.
