Flicks of Water 
Eight is enough for one OCTET [another movie]
Theme: Movies with waterways in their titles. Too bad theme is covert; no doubt lots of solvers missed it because they may not be experienced enough to look for one. Puzzle needs a clue like "water" or a title to open it up. Anyway, the movies brought good memories, and that made the puzzle fun for me.
ESTOS
PTUI [wonder if anyone ever saw this word anywhere other than on some inane crossword fill list]
RATING:
Three grins = Excellent: Loved it; Two grins = Good: Enjoyed it; One grin = Satisfactory: A bit bland for my taste; One teardrop = Unsatisfying: No fun
