The 5

The sequel “Piranha 3DD” came out in limited release Friday. It’s not playing in Youngstown yet, but it’s still a good reason to list five great films that were also set on the water (and don’t have the word “Jaws” in the title). Dive in:

v “The African Queen” (1952): Humphrey Bogart won his one and only Oscar for his indelible portrayal of Charlie Allnut, the drunk, coarse captain of a rickety steamer who’s stuck on a river with Katharine Hepburn’s prim, rigid missionary, Rose Sayer, during World War I.

v “Apocalypse Now” (1979): It’s hard to think of the phrase “going upriver” without thinking of Martin Sheen’s long, harrowing trek to track down and “terminate with extreme prejudice” Marlon Brando’s rebellious and revered Col. Kurtz in the Cambodian jungle.

v “Dead Calm” (1989): Nicole Kidman showcases both her steely, cold strength as well as her fiery, formidable presence. Kidman and Sam Neill star as a married couple who unwittingly let a homicidal maniac aboard their yacht.

v “Titanic” (1997): It was all fun and games until the big boat struck an iceberg and then sloooooowly filled up with water.

v “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World” (2003): Russell Crowe stars as a British captain pushing his ship and his crew beyond their limits. Flawlessly staged and beautifully shot, it’s just a good, old-fashioned epic.

“Flipped Off” (10 p.m., A&E): We find the title of the latest episode of “Flipped off” to be intriguing: “Nightmare on Deal Street.” It has Russell trying to ignore Shawn’s fears about buying a home in which the last resident died.
