Any suggestions for good Kayaking or boating Movies ?? so far, i have the Perfect Storm DVD and Master & Commander.
DO they have epic kayaking movies out there ?? besides the "learning how to " series.
If you like good sailing scenes
You might look for a copy of āWindā. Lousy movie but it has some great sailing in it.
Check out "This is the Sea"
This is a soon to be released kayak movie made at a BCU training and symposium north of San Francisco last fall. I believe you can see a one minute preview at www.cackleTV.com.

Nanook of the North
a very cool movie documenting a Inuit fellow and his family and their lives up North. Itās 1928 or so.
The scene where Nanook, his family and dogs all pile out of a single kayak is really funny. It reminds you of the clowns in the circus and their mini auto they all pile out of!
a definite āmust seeā

It got bad reviews
but for getting the feel for being on the water alot, āWaterworldā is my favorite. The bad guys ride PWCās. I only saw one kayak in the movie, though.

Outstanding clip!
Thanks for the tip. I gotta have that video!
not exactly a kayak movie
one of my all time favorites is āIslands in the Streamā with george c.scott. it has alot of drinking, fishing & boating and is based on the novel my Hemingway, what more can you ask for?
Great looking video - but no NTSC VHS!
Anyone that wantās it in NTSC VHS (for US VHS players) please request they offer these as well by emailing Justine at: justine@cackletv.com
Yeah, I know, I should have a DVD player by now - but Iād rather spend the $ on paddling gear and videos!
Step into liquid
and in gods hands are two surfing movies wiht good esthetics. Both are well worth seeing, I bought step into liquid. Itās just too good.
Alaska
Disney type kids movie has kayaking and canoeing in it. White Squall a sailing themed movie was pretty good and Deliverance. Can not put in onna river without hearing Dueling Banjos.

Brother Bear!
Has a good kayak sequence at the beginning. Great Movie and family oriented.

here is a web site that has a few trailers. Once you open the site click on āValhallaā on the right side, and download the trailer.
You should be able to find more trailers on this film, or order it as a complete version.
Cheers !

Paddle to the Sea
Itās a classic directed by Bill Mason, where a carved, toy canoe travels from the height of land flowing into Lake Superior, following the Great Lakes and Saint Lawrence Seaway out to Newfoundlandā¦ and beyond. It is mesmerizing for young children to watch. It was nominated for an Oscar.

A WW rafting movie
The River Wild with Meryl Streep and Kevin Bacon is a good whitewater rafting movie. It actually brought more people into the sport because of all the whitewater action.
Alan Alda rafting movie?
I remember watching a whitewater rafting movie with Alan Alda that was kind of a cross between Deliverance (which I watched again last night for the 20th time) and River Wild. Anyone remember the name of this movie?
Hi, folks - brand new here and not even a kayaker (though my wife is) - and Iām going to revive an ancient thread to boot!
I just got back from the local tent+awning shop, where they made a new tramp for an old cat I picked up last summer. So Iām chatting with the guy Iāve been dealing with there, and he says that heās never sailed, but paddles. And he got into it as a kid when he watched (back then) a 70s movie that featured a kayak chase. I gather it was a bad-guy-though-probably-the-sympathetic-protaganist trying to outrun the erstwhile āgood guysā. Heās in the kayak. I have no idea whether the guys chasing him are on water or land.
Does this ring any bells?
Thanks.
Jonathan
The Alan Alda movie is āWhite Mileā from 1994.
catsailor, you donāt think the guy is talking about Deliverance from 1972? It has the hillbillies (on land) chasing the guys in canoes.
