When the outer bands of what would become Hurricane Isaac passed through Florida a few days ago it brought a lot of rain. Though the waves were mushy, it also brought out a few surfers. I took this picture in front of the pier at Cocoa Beach.
As a nice screenwriting connection to yesterday’s post on screenwriter Dudley Nichols, he co-wrote the screenplay for The Hurricane (1937) which was directed by John Ford.
That made me think of other movies that feature some aspects of a hurricane (or similar storms) and this is a partial list.
Key Largo (1948)
The Perfect Storm (2000)
Jurassic Park (1993)
Condominium (1980)
Hurricane (1979)
The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
Forces of Nature (1999)
Hurricane on the Bayou
When the Levees Broke: A Requiem in Four Acts (2008)
Beasts of the Southern Wild (2012)
P.S. The great surfer Kelly Slater is from Cocoa Beach so check out these posts:
