Top Ten and Desert Island flicks...
Aye Matey, I confess this one buckled me swash.
The Two Weevils gag is a corker - the resulting gale of drunken laughter is infectious - you can probably find the clip on Youtube if you don't fancy two hours of Crowe friggin in the riggin.
Of course it's Paul Bethany (Gangster No.1 and, more recently as the horribly mis-cast, obligatory Brit-baddie in the appalling Firewall with Han Solo's Grandpa Harrison Ford - how in the name of all things holy is this old codger going to drag his saggy arse through another Indiana Jones adventure? He makes Bill Nighy look like a spring chicken) who steals the show as the ship's surgeon. The Albatross scene came as a genuine shock, and the galapagos moments were well constructed.
As you say one of those you put off seeing until there's nothing left to watch and it turns out to be wholly agreeable fare.
The harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph
