**Movies about the US Coast Guard**

1. The Finest Hours
2. Overboard
3. Coast Guard (1939)
4. The Guardian
5. The Woman on the Beach (1947)
6. Moonrise Kingdom
7. The Perfect Storm

Unfortunately, the movie left out my favorite detail from the book: Coast Guard rescue divers are (or pretend to be) so blase about the risks of their profession that they call a dive into the most mountainous, terrifyingly dangerous seas “sporty.” _Sporty!_ Heheheh.
