Any films like Captain Phillips?
I watched Captain Phillips yesterday and fucking loved it, gripping drama and outstanding acting. Anyone got suggestions for similar things?

All gripping dramas based on historical events, all excellent:
42 (2013)
1917 (2019)
Argo
All The President's Men
Apollo 13
Bridge of Spies
Dunkirk
The Imitation Game
Saving Private Ryan
Schindler's List
Honorable mention sleeper movies you might not have heard of that are gripping dramas but not historically based:
The Foreigner (2017)
JCVD (2008)
Notorious (1946)
The Third Man (1949)

I watched Dunkirk in the cinema prepared with tissues for a Saving Private Ryan snotfest. Around 1/3 through I started sobbing cos of the sheer tension. Amazing film.
That's a really good list, and happily imitation game is on prime! Gonna watch that next thanks

I haven’t watched Sully, but I get the same vibe from it.
