Good Movies About Coral Reefs???

duganderson · 02/01/2013, 09:50 PM

I'm looking for good suggestions for movies or videos about Coral Reefs with good shots and information about coral and the creatures that inhabit the reef?

potterjon · 02/02/2013, 08:46 AM

I watched national geographics "draining the ocean" last night. It was about deep water coral reefs.

fishmanstan · 02/02/2013, 12:13 PM

Nat geo has good ones usually

potterjon · 02/04/2013, 10:55 AM

Coral Reef Adventure
Under the Sea 3D
BBC's South Pacific or Wild Pacific (same program but one is for the American market)

-bbc wild indonesia
-bbc wild caribbeans

Ones with the narrator in the movie is are really cool... like David Attenborough, or Coustau Jr Jr.

SushiGirl · 03/05/2013, 05:45 PM

The entire Planet Earth series is great, but it's more than just the ocean. I agree with all the others listed.

foundnemo11 · 03/13/2013, 02:12 PM

All those are good, I recently watched the Disney oceans documentary with the 007 guy narrating it,it was pretty good. Another one is called coral reef adventures is good too. It's an IMAX movie

SushiGirl · 03/13/2013, 03:29 PM

I recorded 2 "Kingdom of the Oceans" shows the other day. The 2nd one (Fire & Ice) isn't corals, but the 1st one (Predator's Paradise) description is "Coral polyps change the Earth's geography." I caught the 2nd half of the 1st one, but didn't see any coral...lots of fish, though. I'll probably watch them this weekend when my boyfriend comes back from out of town. They were on NatGeoWild and Cousteau's daughter did the ads/intros for them.

aquavista99 · 03/15/2013, 07:35 PM

Coral Reef Adventure (2003) is the the best coral reef documentary in my book....and it is narrated by Liam Neeson who is a big time actor.

MondoBongo · 04/03/2013, 02:35 PM

i recently watched Discover Planet Ocean that was on Netflix.

it's a multi-part documentary series. the first several featured coral reefs heavily. some really incredible footage. the narration wasn't always the best, but the video more than made up for it.

If you have a couple of hours to spend and fast internet, I'm 30 minutes into the almost 2 hours of watching this. Excellent so far.

Reef Life of the Andaman

Mostly fish, but excellent.

pacific abyss if you can find it.

my buddy Brian is in it, some really really deep water collection stuff.

SantaMonica · 05/13/2013, 09:59 PM

Of course, Netflix does not have this one.

pakirri · 05/14/2013, 09:43 AM

Finding Nemo

gentledental4u · 11/12/2017, 02:51 AM

Finding Dory

SantaMonica · 11/12/2017, 10:49 AM

Next they need to do a movie about animated corals with names and personalities.

sdweller · 12/01/2017, 08:02 AM

This thread is old , but try " Chasing Coral " . It is out on Netflix and a true
story of our coral reefs around the world . I don't know that I would put it
under your good category but definitely educational !
