S.O.S.

If I may offer just oooonnnnee more suggestion....(please, don't hit....)

I realize it's not a favorite of today's film fans (even those who love classics), but as a kid I loved 1956's Best Picture winner Around the World in Eighty Days and once in a while, I still pull it out for a viewing whenever I'm feeling a bit nostalgic. But it's a great travel movie, and does feature several scenes with the protagonist on steamers and ships (as well as trains, in balloons, in a carriage, etc.)

OK, I think I'm finished, Moraldo. Hope all these suggestions won't cause your luggage to exceed the weight limit....

I feel the same about 80 Days. It's a beautiful movie, and very entertaining. However, it is a big nothing on the small screen. That's the problem. Those who know it only from seeing it on video, or worse, broadcast in truncated version on TV, aren't seeing the literally "big picture."

This movie, more than most others, was made to be experienced in a theater, and its color, beauty and sweep can be breathtaking in the right venue.
