Also doesn’t Clooney’s character mention he’s from Florida…? Probably helped with the accent.

Agree. Just took the “make a killing” from one of the character’s lines. Nobody was getting rich in that life. Thanks for saying it better than I did! #hatm

Really beautiful way to end the film- Linda Greenlaw taking the Hannah Boden out, with Billy Tyne’s voiceover repeating his description of being a swordfish captain. Beautiful- and tragic. #hatm

Billy recedes back into the wheelhouse. The captain goes down with the ship. #hatm

That shot of the Andrea Gail trying in vain to climb that giant wave, then capsizing. Heartbreaking. #hatm

Daughter just realized they’re not going to make it: “This is a terrible movie!”

The Coast Guard really should get more credit for being the ones out there rescuing people in storms like this. #hatm

Climbing up to fix the radio antenna in the middle of a hurricane. Unreal. #hatm

Just needed a bit of levity. Seriously, this storm is terrifying. #hatm

If the ice machine hadn’t broken, would they have just waited out the storm? But facing the entire catch being spoiled, when they could make a killing… What would you do…? #hatm

Even knowing what happens, those satellite shots of the storm building still make me anxious. #hatm

Heading out- so beautiful. Easy to see the attraction. But man, tough industry. Rough life. #hatm

Don’t know anything about the fishing industry, but this happened in 1991. Billy Joel released Storm Front- with the song “The Downeaster Alexa,” about the declining industry, in 1989. #hatm

I forget how good the soundtrack is; always love James Horner. And the opening montage of the town makes you want to move to New England and become a fisherman. Just beautiful.
Though that’s partly because you can’t smell a movie… #hatm

I am so in for this one. Saw it years ago after reading Sebastian Junger’s book. Looking forward to seeing it again. #hatm

Well that’s a wrap. Vintage ‘80’s film. Vintage 80’s fun. And- Jean Claude Van Damme. Nice way to spend an evening. Thanks @herberthistory.bsky.social and #hatm !

“Anytime. Anyplace. Anywhere. I’ll be there.”

And that’s why Ray Jackson is in the movie. #hatm

Also, I really like Forest Whitaker, and this is early in his career, but his talent seems wasted here. Still fun to see him. #hatm

This would be a soundtrack of one-hit wonders. Except they were never wonders. Or hits. But so ‘80’s. Amazing. #hatm
