19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A baby, left on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, develops to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who remains aboard the ship. The climax of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is Roth battling a piano duel with a historical figure, rather unfairly portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The lead actor plays a warrior-esque drifter with webbed feet and a modified watercraft in this high-cost science fiction adventure, taking place in a future where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the Earth. All people is seeking legendary terra firma while fending off Dennis Hopper and his group of continuously smoking pirates.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
An extended period of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by this filmmaker's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious catastrophes. One must appreciate the chutzpah of a director who successfully transforms a fatalities of 1,500 into an heartening narrative of liberation.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Commoners, flamenco dancers and Nazi eugenicists rub shoulders on a passenger ship journeying from Latin America to the Continent in 1933. The director's sweeping drama stars a cinema icon, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who deliver the movie with its powerful impact.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an explosion and Robert Stack's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their room in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Can the main character and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) free her before the boat submerges? Curious detail: the main setting is embodied by the renowned French liner Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are part of the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled crime novelist detective story. The lead actor, as the famous detective, cannot prevent numerous characters being shot, which narrows his persons of interest to a smaller group. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors play a husband and wife attempting to recover from the pain of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a trip in the sea, where they rescue another actor from a damaged vessel. Costly error! This filmmaker's tense movie is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an US businessman, is deceived into using a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in the director's harsh Ealing comedy in the subversive tradition of his own previous work. Of course, the boat's British skipper and crew take the two landlubbers for a trip, in every meaning of the word.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation angle in this anxiety-inducing story of bombs planted on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors act as demolition specialists; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a heartbreaking depiction in tragicomic desperation.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This adaptation of Paul Gallico's novel is one of the high points of the era of disaster movies. The fictional ship is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of the main protagonist to guide his followers through the flipped hull to rescue. Shelley Winters is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a useful experience of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford gives a experienced exemplary performance in solo performance as a man fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is harmed in a crash with an lost shipping container. It's stressful enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the commander of an American cargo ship commandeered by maritime criminals off the specific location. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by real events. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
