20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
Stephen Sommers' science fiction thriller chronicles a group of attention-grabbing character actors portraying hired guns contracted to destroy the cruise ship the main setting. However a massive sea creature has beaten them to it! Among the likely victims are Famke Janssen as a jewel thief.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, left on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the vessel. The highlight of the director's whimsical hokum is Roth fighting a piano duel with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
Kevin Costner acts as a fighter-inspired drifter with mutated appendages and a enhanced trimaran in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, set in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have flooded the Earth. All people is hunting for fabled solid ground while fighting off the antagonist and his band of chain-smoking raiders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an working-class man (the actor) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's notorious tragedies. You have to admire the boldness of a cinematic artist who successfully transforms a fatalities of over a thousand into an heartening tale of liberation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Working-class people, flamenco dancers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a passenger ship journeying from North America to the Old World in 1933. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama features Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the vessel's physician, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who deliver the film with its dramatic punch.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an explosion and the protagonist's partner (the co-star) is stranded in their room in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Is it possible for the hero and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) save her ahead of the boat submerges? Interesting note: the Claridon is played by the renowned historic ship an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are including the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit. The main star, as the famous detective, is unable to halt half the cast being killed, which narrows his potential killers to a limited selection. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Nicole Kidman portray a husband and wife trying to get over the grief of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they rescue Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! The director's suspense film is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, moving items for an US businessman, is deceived into using a run-down "Scottish vessel" in the director's harsh UK production in the subversive style of his own previous work. Of course, the boat's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a journey, in all senses of the term.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director provides his catastrophe film a state-of-the-nation angle in this anxiety-inducing story of bombs placed on a luxury liner, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors portray explosive technicians; another actor, as the cruise director, delivers a heartbreaking study in sadly funny despair.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This film version of the author's literary work is among the peaks of the era of disaster movies. The fictional ship is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his followers through the inverted hull to security. a supporting player is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a handy history of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual battling to endure in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a crash with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star delivers sterling work in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by African raiders off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a sensational first movie role as the pirate chief in the director's suspense film, derived from actual incidents. Should the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
