Movies With Rowing In Them (2 Viewers)

Just felt like making a list for movies with rowing in them.
I know Skulls and Emperors Club have Rowing in it.

[Ben Motley]

The Vikings
Moby Dick
Spartacus
BEN-HUR
The Wicker Man

Okay, probably not what you were thinking of, but all of those do have rowing in them.

 

[Dan Rudolph]

A River Runs Through It. (Or are you using some Canadian meaning of rowing that has nothing to do with boats?)

 

[ThomasC]

Enemy of the State has a few seconds of it...

 

[RobertW]

oxford blues
the blue boy(?)-starred nicholas cage
with honors-had a little

Try "Rowing Through", which I believe came out in 2001. It's about the guys training for the '80 Olympics.

 

[Karl_Luph]

Check out Alfred Hitchcock's classic "Lifeboat". It takes place mainly on a lifeboat, so I'm sure they're doing alot of rowing!

 

[Tim Glover]

The River Wild

 

[george kaplan]

Deliverance?

 

[Chris Atkins]

FAMILY TIES VACATION

 

[Matthew Todd]

Even Holes has a little bit of rowing in it (although maybe not the type of "rowing" that you're looking for).

I believe he is looking for the SPORT not just any old rowing (as some posters humorously noted), sculling as its sometimes called.

Otherwise I would mention Sunrise, which has lots of oars to water action but not the sporting version.


There is a rowing plot keyword at IMDb, and from it I found the one that I was thinking of but couldn't remember the name...True Blue.

There are several others you can find that way but most are shorts, TV films, or documentaries.

Some of the non-doc features - Blondie Goes to College (42), All-American Sweetheart (37), The Boy in Blue (86 - the Nic Cage film Robert was thinking of), Brown of Harvard (18), Queen of the Night (2001), Rowing Through (96 - mentioned already), and A Yank at Oxford (38).

There have to be many others since Emporer's Club and Oxford Blues (another I also remembered) don't have the genre/plot keyword for rowing attached to them (which is rather odd considering the plot for Oxford Blues which even has rowing listed in the plot summary at IMDb).

 

[Qui-Gon John]

What about Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

"Row, row, row your boat"

 

[Will K]

The opening shots of The Exorcist III featured rowing. Later, a murder victim is discovered nailed to a pair of oars(no, not aspect ratios ).

OK, focusing on the sport, these are all off the top of my head, and I could be misrembering the rowing in them, but I think it's in:

The Way We Were
Sliding Doors
The Paper Chase
The World According to Garp

I haven't seen some of these for a long time, so if I'm wrong, sorry.

 

[John Watson]

Geez, Mike, how fragmented our tastes are getting.

I suppose you only want to watch them (hehe), if they are in OAR?

 

[Michael Pakula]

I guess I should have been more clear in my post. I
meant Rowing as in the sport also known as sculling
and sweeping. It was around 3 in the morning when
I started this thread so cut me some slack.

[Scott Leopold]

Buster Keaton's College.

 

[Ben Motley]

Aguirre, The Wrath of God
Swiss Family Robinson
Up the Creek
Davy Crockett and the River Pirates

I'm sorry, I just can't stop.
