Good sailing movies or documentaries

Any recommendations out there? Just saw "Morning Light", the recently-released
documentary about the 2007 TransPac race in which generally unseasoned very young sailors were selected, trained and coached to compete against older, experienced sailors - a very good and exciting movie. Got me thinking about others that I might be missing...

"Windjammer" Great sailing movie from 50 years ago. This movie rocked my world in the theatre when I was a boy. Felt like I was on the boat.

I'm guessing this has been done on another thread already, but here goes...

For decent sailing action (at the end) the movie "Wind" is OK - not the world's greatest plot, and somewhat predictable but the on-the-water scenes with some battle scarred 12 meters are well done.. unlike "White Squall" which was pretty clearly done on a movie set.

Faster is correct, this was done on another thread, not that long ago.
