  • mobys dick!! lol

  • this movie filmed in the Canary Islands, in La playa de Las Canteras....

  • At 18.th of October 1851. Herman MELLVILLE s book MOBYDICK edited for the first time - before 160 years !!

  • Why did people name a whale penis penis?

    that's what it means ._.

  • thumbs up if you read the book

  • This was the ONLY good version of the film. All the remakes suck.

  • Eh, people from America or somewhere just have to use there weak spears, killing the wonders god has created...

  • @weechify America wasn't the only country who whaled, some Countries like Japan still do it today.

  • thank god it wasnt called the black whale, then we wouldv had some problems....

  • Cryptozoology novel about two boys who find something strange on the beach one night see video book trailer

  • He so destroyed that ship..

  • Peter Jackson should do an epic remake of Moby Dick, similar to what he did with King Kong, that would be the shizzz nizzzzz

  • awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww i feel really bad for poor moby:(

  • 船長が 死んでも 手招いています 波に 洗われながら

    

  • Films were a lot better before Hollywood (as well as our tv. and newspapers) was monopolized by Jews. Nowadays they are filled with filth.

  • @stepheng1483 We gentiles are perfectly capable of being shallow and immoral on our own.

  • @ScootyPuffSr7 It can't be denied Jews have monopolized our media, and it can't be denied that our media is filled with filth designed to lead our people astray. Remove the Jews and this problem (as well as many others) would vanish.

  • @stepheng1483 If Jews as a group are so monolithic why do half of Jews in the United States marry non-Jews?

  • Moby Dick - Livyatan melvillei

  • poor Moby.. :'( he got stabbed by harpoon.

  • What is big and rose ? Moby´s dick

  • I like Moby Dick because it has the word "Moby" in it!...lol

  • John Huston asked Ray Bradbury to do the screenplay, Bradbury said "to tell you the truth I've never been able to read the damn book". Huston said well read what you can.

  • in soviet russia, ishmael calls you!

  • I thought Ahab was supposed to be unbelievably ugly.

  • ahab is mean lincoln. moby dick is tough

  • i hope this movie will be remaked!!! :D:D:D:D:D

  • @Igleh12 It was, in 1989 with Patrick Stewart playing Ahab and Gregory Peck playing a cameo and the preacher. This one is the best but the 1989 one is pretty good too. The most recent one, Moby Dick 2010 is absolute garbage.

  • @theswatter Why? Whats wrong with the new one?

  • @theswatter

    there will be a new mini series with William Hurt as Ahab this year (see trailer on my yt-account). I'm quite optimistic that it will be better than the one with Stewart.

  • Gregory Peck woulda made a good Wolverine

  • Great movie. Modern movies are filled with filth, it is no coincidence that Hollywood, and all Western media for that matter, has been monopolized by Jews.

  • SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER!!

  • my name is ishmal.the first words in the book.moby dick was a poorly selling book untile herman melvile died.there is a wishbone book called moby dog. booth books are great.

  • In soviet russia, Ships rape sexually named whales!

  • @tossenbossen In soviet russia,moby dick hunts you :P

  • 2:09 hey look it's brent hinds of mastodon

    ..so that's where they got the idea..

  • jaws was a moby dick remake.

  • @jimmybob137

    not really ...

  • @jimmybob137 No, Jaws was just inspired from the mortal fear that people have of shark attacks. It's more likely to get killed by a Great White then a Sperm Whale. But Jaws doesn't have shit on Moby Dick. xD

  • started researching into leviathan, moby dick and things like that, which led me to atlantis and stuff like that, i think it's about time i read moby dick, plus i'd understand the mastodon album too lol

  • The ole Nantucket Sleighride

  • heis abig dick

    

  • These old movies are great, there's no swear words, constant sexual references, and general filth and depravity. I love their innocence.

  • John bonham solo ^^

  • more like ''Moby's dick''

  • why do they name it moby dick anywayz? they dunno whats dick back then?

  • @benjamin656564

    It didnt mean that back then.

  • @benjamin656564 RIchard!

  • I have not read the book as yet, but this movie is pretty good. However, the Ahab vs. Moby Dick vs. Starbuck vs. the-entire-remainder-of-the-lo­t-of-them conflict in this story is a total zero when judged against the relationships of Capt. Larsen vs. Humphrey Van Weyden in "The Sea Wolf," as well as Capt. Bligh vs. Fletcher Christian from "Mutiny on the Bounty."

  • Comment removed

  • @rem2267 

  • (continued) For me, human vs. human conflict is much more fascinating than the need for vengeance against a whale. Perhaps the Moby Dick book will contain more of that, and delve into Ahab's dealing with his own personal demons.

  • they shud make a new version of moby dick

  • @emoaznchick95 Right Letters to Joe Johnson or M. Night Shamylan.

  • This movie needs a remake, finally some real seamonster action!

  • Buenísima!!!!

  • R.I.P. Gregory Peck!

  • A very slow and boring film with the talentless Peck hilariously miscast as Ahab.

  • @JuanMacready You philistine, you wouldn't know acting talent if it reared up and bit you. This film is a classic and all the acting brilliant.

  • @JuanMacready At 16 what is your point of reference?

  • I don't know what you mean? This film might have worked with a better actor in the lead role. Richard basehart was far too old to play the youngster Ishmael.

  • This is a all time classic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Fucking Ahab......

  • spoiler

  • movie was tight.

  • Isn't this novel the best American novel in the world?

  • Kortestyle

  • Atticus Finch was seduced by the darkside.

  • 2:14 or 16 when she comes

  • tha's big as a moutain

  • It was too slow, the whale was obviously just a model, and Peck was both too young and much too nice to be believable as Ahab.

  • Hajrá Magyarország! Hajrá Fidesz!

  • @Orange2010ful -- Well! Can't argue with that!!!

  • Gregory Peck kinda loook like that guy from X-man wolfverine origin. :)

  • @monyta542 Tis true

  • The last comment is total stupid and absolut

    wrong. This movie is one of the best movies

    ever in every relationship and a excellent cineastic realization of Melvilles novelle. If one person has only a little bit movie-knowledge and a developed sense for really good movie - art, this fact must be selfunderstanding for this. This movie is formal and substantial very famous and will it be also, if some incompe- tent guys this still not have clear. Great art resist and survive stupid comments.

  • I think I agree with you, but I can't really tell. You should learn the basics of english before embarking on a complicated rant. Awesome movie. Epic.

  • Did you give me a "thumbs down" for expressing an afterthought opinion? Draft dodger? Lung cancer? You're just a really bad person aren't you? Alot of unprocessed emotions yeah? Weird to have hatred for someone you've never met, sad to have hatred for anyone at all.

  • classic!!!

  • crazy basterd

  • a remake will be great,with better special effects

  • Whats wrong with this one? Gregory Peck, Orson Welles ain't good enough?

  • long book! haha queequeg looks funny

  • Ahab rules!

  • THe movie I saw as most (20+ and no video, only on TV)

  • queequeg... what a champ. such a geat novel.

  • lol, love ahab

  • good god the captain is on Prozac(registered mark here)

  • A great actor Gregory Peck.

    ...Played the part with his soul.

  • There she blooows ... one of the best movies I've ever seen, one of the most difficult books I've ever read. Awesome.

  • BEST

    MOVIE

    EVER

  • I liked it then and I love it now. Yeah, get em Moby! I'm rooting for the whale. They shoulda kept they ass on land.

  • Aaaah, spoilers. lawl. I haven't finished the book yet.;;; Is the movie (or the remake) humorous at all? :B

    Because the book is damned hilarious.

  • queequeg is so brutal in this version!

  • Does anyone know about this made but in a remake in 2006? I am looking for it.

  • @XxLocoxx19Xx

    There was a re-make made in 1998, not 2006. But it was shit.

  • one of my top 3 movies....

  • lol that one actors last name is Justice. that would be awesome.

  • Is, then, the crown too heavy that I wear?

  • they could make such a good remake of this nowadays

  • They did make a great remake about 10 years ago starring Patrick Stewart as Ahab. Excellent flick.

  • but it was so good as this or???

  • goofy. Essentially the same movie with Queequg played by an eskimo; further the relationship between Q and Ishmael was teased by characters in the film as homosexual. And everyone looked too "post-apocolyptic" with clothes a mess and impliments that looked middle ages.

  • Hmmmmm. Didn't know that Abe Lincoln and Capt. Ahab were related...

  • they where.... i think

  • Captain Ahab is EVIL LINCOLN

  • thanks heaps for that torrent link, took me ages to get it going but was well worth it. great movie. thanks also to the guy who emailed me as well. unfortunately you had to be in america for that one, but thanks all the same.

  • Some say he's half man half whale...some say its more a 70-30 split...either way he's one fishy barstard...

  • just finished the book for a paper i'm writing, probably the best book i've ever read, or at least my favorite

  • I just finish reading this bock and must say. That it is a werry good book! The movie i havent seen. Perheps i should! Anyway im babling.

    If stops half way and says U hae watch 54 mins already But just wait like 50 mins and go 2 the spot !

    Oh and it doesn`t always work !

    HOPE THIS HELPS ! :D

  • I never read this book, but lately I heard that it's really good. I was trying to buy one the other day but there were many editions, I didn't know what to buy..any advise please???

  • Moby Dick is based on a true story, at the beginning of the 19th century, the whaleship Essex was attacked by a whale, the first and only time a whale has ever attacked a ship. Any edition by Melville is good but make sure it is unedited.

  • This, for me, is the definitive Moby Dick: a movie every bit as classic, romantic and scary as the book on which it was based, but clearer cut and easier to follow. Still one of the best films ever made, it cast its spell on me as a boy, and has never let go.

  • Oh god..Gregory Peck's voice! XD So hot!

  • I saw this illustration on this one edition of a Moby Dick novel, and the cover showed all the dead crew members bodies and bits of the ship lying draped on top of Moby Dick as the whale was floating on the surface of the water.

  • awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Yeah it is awsome, but I saw it in a bookstore about five years ago. I was wondering if anyone could find it for me.

  • captain ahab was awesome! i luv him soooo much more in this one than in the 1998 Moby Dick. He seems more real here. he rocks! im gonna watch this movie tonight!

  • Richard Basehart is great.

  • omg moby dick iz my most favorite movie ever! i <3 captain ahab we r gettin married 2morro!

  • "Drink and swear man, God hunt us all if we do not hunt Moby Dick to his death!"

  • " And how nobly it raises our conceit of the mighty, misty monster, to behold him solemely sailing through a calm tropical sea; his vast, mild head overhung by a canopy of vapor". No greater book was ever written.

  • Pecks greatest role is truly memorable ,similar to Newtons,Long John Silver.Both fantastic Character performances

  • Twas the whale that sank our economy ill wager.Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrr

  • moby dick =D

  • historia en los mares de chile

  • Do english speaking people say captain Ahab? In the french version of the book,it's captain Achab,dunno why..

  • It's Ahab,Aay-hab, pronounced and named after the evil king from the Bible.

  • FYI this was actually based on true events.

    a sperm whale completely destroyed a big ship

  • It wasn't based on true events. Sure whales were dangerous, and hurt people, so it might have borrowed that, but I doubt all these characters existed in these forms outside the writer's mind.

  • no of course with the characters and names but yes this did happen a sperm whale destroyed a big ship in the 1800

  • why is he looks like Abraham Lincoln?

  • "Whiskers" without a moustache was a popular style for mature men in the mid Nineteenth century.

  • Ahab was a Quaker I think, they dressed in black, like the oatmeal man.

  • great

  • that would be terrible

  • You gotta be kidding. No way the guy who ruined Planet of the Apes could do justice to Moby Dick.

  • Believe me, I love the John Huston / Gregory Peck 'Moby Dick' but in my dreams I see Klaus Kinski as Ahab directed by Werner Herzog. If they hadn't killed each other in the process I think that would have been a hell of a movie!

  • Hell yes! No-one but no-one matches the burning intensity in Kinski's eyes.

  • Gregory Peck perfectly captured the white hot anger seething under Ahab's veneer of self control, the kind of control ship owners expected of sea captains. Director John Huston processed the film so the colors resembled old whaling prints. A well made & evocative classic.

  • man that book almost killed me,the flulk,s of the whale,the fossel whale,the spout of the whale,the tail of the whale.any person who managed to get through the whole book,deserves a fucking knighthood it is 10% genius and 90% shite,full stop.

  • Funny shit, son! I fell asleep every other page - if it weren't for the short chapters and the hellish nitemares possessing me to the finish... I'd still be wondering how the rope snatched Ahab's ivory peg.

  • the book is sheer poetry...kirk douglas would have made a better ahab, though I love peck...superb atticus finch...

    orson welle's cameo was brilliant...baseharts voice as narator was excellent...

    remake was a disappointment....overacted...­musta been made by liberals...

  • Kirk, with passion, yes - but Peck had the presence. Kirk would have looked in the smoking bloodshot eye of Leviathan and then would transform into turnip turd.. Ahab was a beast, not a demon.  Kirk should have played Fedallah!

  • "STEWART SUX PECK 4 LYF"

    That made me laugh so hard! Yes, Peck indeed.

  • Amen.

  • I can't agree with whoever liked Patrick Stewart better as Ahab. In fact, I don't agree with Gregory Peck himself, who thought he was too young and not up to the part. I can't imagine anybody else in the part. Patrick Stewart just plain lacked the craziness.

    That said, there are good things to be said for both versions. A more likely Queequeg in the second, for one. Richard Basehart, an otherwise good actor, did not shine as Ishmael in the first version, either.

  • I think Crowe would probbaly make a better "Dick" since most people seem to think that's what he is anyway. Honestly, he is a damn good actor though.

    The one guy that could have easily made a good Ahab (with help on the accent opf course) would have been Johnny Cash! One might say that Ahab was the original "Man in Black" of the literary world.

  • Love this movie, one of the best adaptations of classic literature ever.

    If they remade this today, Russell Crowe would make a hell of an Ahab.

  • This movie is really cool. Thanks Moby Dick , ok. sayonara my friends.

  • Wow, the first time I saw this movie, I was captivated by Ahab!! Now I can't wait to read the book!

  • The Patrick Stewart version was the best. Most true to the novel. Gregory Peck's version of Ahab is just to do the crazy eyes once in a while. So hack.

  • anyone knows if this movie is on the internet?

  • Yeah, if you have a Netflix subscription (not the cheapest one, though), you can see it free on Watch Instantly.

  • Didn't care for the Patrick Stewart version at all, for some reason, and I like Patrick Stewart. TV movie sleeping pill.

    The Gregory Peck version was far more dramatic, had better script, I even liked the music by Phillip Sainton.

  • I like this movie, and of course the novel from Hermann Melville.

  • I was awestruck when I learned decades later, that the screenplay was written by one of my all-time favorite authors Ray Bradbury!

  • There should be a remake of this movie, it would be great, a movie for theaters, not a tv movie

  • agree, i REALLY hope that some day there will be a all new Moby Dick Movie

  • Me to!I did watch it also when I was 4 years old!And on one channel I watched part 1,one day ago!I can't wait for Part 2!!!This such an awesome movie!

  • I must echo rixenbixen. The Patrick Stewart version is tops!

    Any whaling story is a good story, though....

  • Awesome, powerful stuff: men giving their souls over to vengeance... a timeless look into the heart of darkness. It's great to see this clip here. Thanks!

  • Great film! Peck was a perfect choice! Did you know Leo Genn was a Lt. Col. who prosecuted at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial?

  • Liked the new one with Patrick Stewart better.:P

  • I watched that one to!

  • My favourite part was when the whale got angry. Raymond Massey would have been a much better Captain Ahab though.

  • saw dis movie in my American Literature class.. wasnt so bad,but uh.was it just me or did Ishmael kept gettin gayer as the movie went along.. with his shirt off and tight pants with skarf and all lol.

  • Whale meat again, sometime soon, dont know when.

  • Never read the book, but I have the dvd at home. Love the movie! Gregory Peck plays his role as Captain Ahab very good :) If he wasn't so obsessed by Moby Dick, I think he would've been a great captain to work for.

  • I didn't like the book at all! Ishmael kept trailing off about different types of whales and what they looked like. The plot wasn't bad though.
