20. Ocean Terror (1998)
Stephen Sommers' sci-fi horror pulp details a collection of memorable supporting players acting as mercenaries contracted to sink the luxury liner Argonautica. Yet a massive sea creature has got there first! Including the potential cephalopod fodder are Famke Janssen as a gem smuggler.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A newborn, left on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (the lead actor) who refuses to leave the vessel. The peak moment of the director's whimsical hokum is the main character competing in a keyboard contest with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly depicted as a arrogant character.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
Kevin Costner acts as a samurai-like drifter with aquatic adaptations and a souped-up watercraft in this high-cost futuristic thriller, located in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have flooded the planet. All people is seeking legendary terra firma while resisting Dennis Hopper and his group of continuously smoking raiders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an working-class man (the male lead) are rescued by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of a famous well-known tragedies. You have to admire the chutzpah of a cinematic artist who manages to twist a death toll of numerous victims into an emotionally uplifting story of freedom.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Commoners, Spanish performers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a commercial vessel sailing from Latin America to the Continent in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's epic features Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is trapped in their room in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Can the main character and a courageous worker (the actor) free her ahead of the boat submerges? Fun fact: the Claridon is represented by the famous French liner Île de France.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being shot, which reduces his suspects to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Nicole Kidman act as a husband and wife attempting to recover from the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a trip in the ocean, where they save Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! The director's thriller is essentially a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An Englishman, shipping items for an American industrialist, is manipulated into employing a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in the director's brutal British film in the rebellious tradition of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and team take the two landlubbers for a journey, in every meaning of the word.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension perspective in this anxiety-inducing yarn of explosives placed on a luxury liner, the main setting. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors portray explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, delivers a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's book is among the high points of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's up to the main protagonist to lead his flock through the flipped ship to safety. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a handy experience of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The main star gives a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a man battling to endure in the maritime location after his yacht, the fictional ship, is impaired in a crash with an errant transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to record.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
Tom Hanks does sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the captain of an US merchant vessel seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), providing a sensational first movie role as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, inspired by actual incidents. Should the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
