20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
Stephen Sommers' futuristic scarefest details a group of memorable ensemble cast playing soldiers of fortune hired to demolish the luxury liner the main setting. But a massive sea creature has beaten them to it! Featuring the potential cephalopod fodder are Treat Williams as a diamond criminal.
19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A newborn, abandoned on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (Tim Roth) who refuses to leave the boat. The peak moment of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is Roth battling a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, somewhat unjustly depicted as a smug bastard.
18. Waterworld (1995)
Kevin Costner acts as a warrior-esque wanderer with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this megabudget science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the Earth. Everyone is searching for fabled solid ground while resisting the antagonist and his group of constantly puffing marauders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
Two hours of love story development between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an working-class man (the actor) are redeemed by this filmmaker's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious tragedies. You have to admire the audacity of a film-maker who artfully converts a fatalities of 1,500 into an heartening narrative of emancipation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Peasants, flamenco dancers and political extremists rub shoulders on a ocean liner traveling from Latin America to the Old World in 1933. Stanley Kramer's epic includes Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a melancholy character, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who provide the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an explosion and Robert Stack's spouse (the actress) is stranded in their quarters in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Will Stack and a heroic engineer (the actor) free her ahead of the ship sinks? Fun fact: the fictional ship is played by the famous European vessel a real ship.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are including the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this all-star crime novelist murder mystery. The lead actor, as the famous detective, fails to stop numerous characters being shot, which whittles down his suspects to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill play a married couple seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! The director's thriller is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that made her famous.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An UK citizen, moving items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into hiring a dilapidated "type of boat" in the director's dark UK production in the subversive vein of his own earlier film. Of course, the ship's Scottish captain and staff deceive the inexperienced passengers for a trip, in every meaning of the expression.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this tension-filled story of detonators positioned on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors act as bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a emotional depiction in tragicomic desperation.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This adaptation of the author's novel is one of the high points of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his followers through the flipped ship to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical background of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford delivers a late-career exemplary performance in one-man show as a man battling to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The lead actor does outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the commander of an commercial transport seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), making a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in the director's tense movie, derived from true stories. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
