Hillary in KS Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Isn't that a fantastic series!!! We love it here as well. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Elliot Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I hear you! I've been considering rewatching them soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I haven't seen the series, but I'm currently 3/4 of the way through "Ship of the Line". I'm reading them in order. I'll have to check out the movies when I'm done! Are they okay for kids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The books are good too. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in IL Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 ages 9 and 13. They are strutting around here pretending to be like H.H. and are very obedient. What a nice by-product from a movie! There are killing scenes, but they aren't tooooo bad considering they are related to war. Totally doable for my kids.

Nestof3 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Hornblower that is. Man that is an awesome video series!! Isn't he dreamy? Just a warning. The episode with the Spanish capture has a sex scene which is more than I would want my sons to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie in VA Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 . . . that if Horatio Hornblower ever knocked on my front door, I would have to go with him. (Fortunately, this isn't about the actor himself, but about the fictional character, so this scenario is 100% impossible.) We all like this series very much, and ds11 has read all of the books. I keep hoping they make some more of the movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeslieP Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 We loved the HH series as well. I have started collecting the books, but I am still missing a few. Glad to know the books are great, too (usually the movies are never as good as the books, but this series was pretty good!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather in WI Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Ooh, we'll have to check them out then! We allow Star Wars, so I can't imagine that it would be worse than that .... right? Thanks for the heads up on the sex scene ... we would want to avoid that for our boys, too. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on the sex scene ... we would want to avoid that for our boys, too. :-) The scene is in Duchess and the Devil. A Spanish woman convinces a guard she can "please" him, so he releases her and immediately she's plopped on the bed, skirt drawn up, etc. Also, the Wrong War is emotionally taxing because of a relationship, and there's a lot of tongue-kissing. I just like to know about these things. My son was watching the movie Longitude -- a movie about the invention of a device to calculate longitude -- when all of the sudden, there were women playing cards while topless. ugh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 What's the name of the first book, and what age do you think they'd be for? Would girls like them too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in IL Posted June 16, 2009 Author Share Posted June 16, 2009 haven't read the books, though (yet!). Thanks about the s*x scenes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 My guys loved these movies! Courage, honor, devotion to duty....good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Ledge Academy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 We love it (my husband and I so far, that is.) We have seen them all, but are wondering when are they going to make more? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
