33 Apparently reasonably historically "accurate" (story is fiction, but the techniques aren't) naval battle scene from Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (with Russell Crowe). Worth a watch, if you haven't seen it. Lots of cannon. Rather satisfying.

Great movie. I loved the Hornblower TV show which was based on some books by the same guy. Although the last one has some shockingly bad vfx.
Point of order! The Aubrey-Maturin series (Master and Commander) is by Patrick O'Brian, and the Hornblower series is by C. S. Forester, who also wrote the books behind a bunch of movies (The African Queen, Sink the BisMarck!, Greyhound).
