Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

I've watched this before, though not particularly attentively - a tale of adventure on the high seas (add capitalisations as appropriate) during the Napoleonic wars. It's pretty good, and seems to make a genuine effort at veracity in its depiction of ship-board life, often diverting itself from the central pursuit of the Acheron to dwell on its characters, which somewhat disrupts the flow of the action but probably makes for a richer experience overall.
