That is correct, you win a complete set of the Encyclopedia Brittanica, a case of Rice-A-Roni (the San Francisco treat) and the right to ask the next question...

Sine they haven't yet made a movie about me, I'm going to guess that it's "De-Lovely" with Kevin Kline as Cole Porter.

Well, b4dave has not been on the board in 14 days, what say we start a new question? In what movie did a character turn to a comrade and utter the question: "What's a stuns'l?"

I know this isn't right, but I keep thinking M*A*S*H (the movie in 1969) when I read this.

No, Not M*A*S*H, but there are military aspects to this movie.

Black Hawk Down--it's a wild guess?

It certainly is a wild guess, and incorrect to boot. Keep trying.
If it helps, here's the answer to the character's question: "A studding sail or studsail is a sail used to increase the sail area of a square rigged vessel in light winds. Traditionally pronounced stuns'l. It is an extra sail hoisted alongside a square-rigged sail on an extension of its yardarm. It is named by prefixing the word studding to the name of the working sail alongside which it is set."

Master and Commander? (Pretty sure it's not Horatio Hornblower.)

K13. or Das Boot. or Red October. or Kingdom of Heaven. or Heart's War... that's all the war flicks I can think of off the top of my head. Pretty sure the last two don't even involve water at all.
