Your favorite movies with fishing

[CrashVector]

Two of mine are Grumpy Old Men and Grumpier Old Men.

 

I also like the fly fishing scenes in The Quiet Man.

The Grumpy Old Men movies are great!

Shot in and around St. Paul...I actually spotted Ann a few times when I had errands to run in that area. (swoons).

Both of the "Grumpy/Grumpier" movies, and, of course, "A River Runs Through It" are the first ones that come to mind. Does "Jaws" count? 

[crypt]

a river runs through it. oh yeah......Jaws....

[Tennessee Boy]

“A River Run Through It” is as good as it gets.  The part were the bother comes home after being away at college.  He looks down at the river he’s been away from and he gets that look on his face.  Only a fisherman can understand that look.

Grumpy old men

Perfect storm

A river runs through it

Moby Dick 

 

[gim]

Definitely JAWS.

 

We’re gonna need a bigger boat.

Don't forget Old Man and the Sea.  Unbelievable footage of a marlin fight, considering the technology when it was filmed.

Bait Shop with Bill Engvall is alright.

On the tackle collecting forums, the game is always to identify the tackle used in the movies. 

Bogart's tackle in High Sierra, 1941, Montague cane,

a Medalist 1594 from that period will bring $1500 today. 

 

In The Quiet Man, 1951,

Ward Bond is fishing a Young Pattern 10a from the 20s/30s

 

In Libeled Lady, 1936,

William Powell is fishing a large auto -  Martin No. 3.  Myrna Loy is fishing another rare first-year Medalist 1594.  Walter Connally is fishing a Shakespeare Russell with round line guard.

 

can keep going with Carole Lombard, In Name Only, 1939, another shiny new Medalist, but a RHW 1494.  In spite of the trees in the movie, Lombard and Gable were avid fishers. 

 

Two different Three Stooges shorts, Curly and Moe each fish a hard-rubber, "Steel Pivot" Montague

 

OK, my favorite movie with fishing - 1950, Hemingway's The Breaking Point. 

Harry Morgan's fat-cat guide fare (who stiffs him at the dock and leaves him stranded with his boat in Mexico) catches a Marlin on a Penn Senator.

 

Another great Hemingway, George C. Scott in Islands in the Stream, 1977. 

 

Penn and Fenwick in Jaws.

The “Valley of Light” was pretty good. 
The Grumpier old men movies. I laugh every time at the dead fish in the car part, and the ice fishing shack fight. Walter Matthou was perfect for the part.

 

There aren’t many fishing movies are they?

[Bankbeater]

Probably Jaws

[GRiver]

Jaws 

old man and the sea

no love for "big fish"?    

my son called me "edward bloom" for years after seeing that movie.

 

"how does the biggest fish in the river get so big?"

 

by not getting caught

This was gonna be mine.  SUCH an amazing film ... and the entire movie is a metaphor for the typical "I caught a fish THIS big" story.  Only, what you find out in the end, is priceless!

Is that the movie about tournament fishing with Billy Ray Cyrus? I've never seen it.

"A River Runs Through It" is one of my all time favorite movies.

Yep. It’s kinda cheesy, but it’s clean and has a good message.
