It's more of a series of TV-movies... Quoting wikipedia: "The series consists of eight made-for-television movies, which are notable for their high production values. All were later released on DVD. In the US, the series was retitled Horatio Hornblower, and some of the episodes were known by different titles.
* The Even Chance (AKA: The Duel) Released in 1998 * The Examination for Lieutenant (AKA: The Fire Ships) Released in 1998 * The Duchess and the Devil Released in 1999 * The Frogs and the Lobsters (AKA: The Wrong War) Released in 1999 * Mutiny Released in 2001 * Retribution Released in 2001 * Loyalty Released in 2003 * Duty Released in 2003"
There is a box-set (http://www.amazon.com/Horatio-Hornblower-Collectors-Ioan-Gruffudd/dp/B0018C705M/ref=sr_1_1?s=dvd&ie=UTF8&qid=1297115959&sr=1-1) for a reasonable price, but it's of course also available on, hrrm, torrent sites and the likes.
Yes, watch it! It's very much worth it, not only for the pretty men in uniform... The four five movies are especially good!
