9. Longitude (2000)
Trending
This is a TV movie telling the twin stories of John Harrison, an 18th-century clockmaker who solved the problem of determining longitude at sea, and Rupert Gould, a 20th-century historian who restored Harrison's timepieces. It is their struggle and success in their fight that is used to show that accuracy and determination are what will be needed for any scientific endeavor to be successful. Longitude shines a light on an often-forgotten page of history that transformed navigation. This makes it an interesting watch for history and science enthusiasts.
