I'm so bad at these - at least a half-dozen are achingly familiar, but I can't hum it along to figure out the next line since it's not Name That Tune. :-P But I do know that #19 is Master and Commander.

No, humming really isn't going to help here. ;)

And yes, it is indeed Master and Commander, which is a movie decidedly short on quotable quotes, alas...
