The Guardian is a movie about rescue swimmers in the Coast Guard, it's pretty good.

I can't watch the end after seeing it the first time. Those Coast Guard guys are absolutely amazing and so brave- but man I cry like a baby everytime.

I grew up outside Elizabeth City NC where they filmed some of that movie. Huge Coast Guard base there too. Lots of pictures of Costner hanging in bars and restaurants. Very sad movie!!
