Top 5 movies that take place mostly underwater that I’ve seen

HONORABLE MENTION:

Jaws

I kind of have to mention this Spielberg film, right? It’s definitely a 70’s classic, but it’s pretty boring to watch: A killer shark that attacks and kills anyone who steps foot into the ocean. Just don’t go into the water and you’ll be fine.

NUMBER FIVE:

Life – Narrated by Oprah Winfrey

“This remarkable collection brings together the two most riveting, highly praised natural history series ever produced, Planet Earth and its stunning follow-up, Life! Planet Earth takes viewers on a breathtaking tour of the entire planet. ”

This 11 part documentary that takes place within 4 different DVDs is very beautiful. I’ve never seen it all the way through. It’s eleven parts. The underwater disk is pretty good.

NUMBER FOUR:

The Incredible Mr. Limpet

Following the success of the combination of animation and live-action from Mary Poppins, The Incredible Mr. Limpet is about a shy man who loves fish and wishes he could be one. His dreams come true when a magic fish turns him into an animated creature who still needs glasses to see for some reason.

His fish powers also grant him the ability to do a super sonar scream underwater, and he then decides to join the Navy and help America find secret German submarines to destroy them. It’s a weird movie made in 1964.

NUMBER THREE:

Shark Tale

This… this is a movie. It was made in 2004 after the popularity of Shrek and is full of weird characters and fish puns. If you haven’t seen or even heard of it before now, I envy you.

NUMBER TWO:

The Spongebob Squarepants Movie

YES! This movie is fantastic and everything Stephen Hillenburg did to this character was incredible. It’s full of laughs and serious moments and I loved watching this in the theater in 2004.

NUMBER ONE:

Finding Nemo

This one is just kind of expected to be number one in this. It’s a beautiful film about fish and parenting and easily one of my favorite animated movies. The beginning scene always makes me sad; I’d even say it could be as sad or sadder than the beginning sequence of Up.
