20. Ocean Terror (1998)

This filmmaker's futuristic scarefest follows a collection of memorable supporting players portraying soldiers of fortune contracted to destroy the passenger vessel Argonautica. However a enormous cephalopod has beaten them to it! Including the endangered passengers are Kevin J O'Connor as a jewel thief.

19. 1900's Tale (1998)

A newborn, abandoned on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who refuses to leave the boat. The peak moment of the director's imaginative story is the main character competing in a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately depicted as a smug bastard.

18. Waterworld (1995)

The lead actor plays a fighter-inspired wanderer with mutated appendages and a souped-up trimaran in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, located in a later era where disappearing glaciers have inundated the world. The entire population is seeking mythical Dryland while fending off Dennis Hopper and his band of chain-smoking marauders.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

Two hours of love story development between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an working-class man (the male lead) are saved by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's well-known tragedies. One must appreciate the boldness of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a fatalities of 1,500 into an heartening narrative of liberation.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Peasants, flamenco dancers and German ideologists mingle on a commercial vessel sailing from North America to Europe in 1933. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama stars a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The central vessel is ripped apart in an detonation and the lead actor's partner (the actress) is stuck in their room in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the main character and a brave technician (the actor) rescue her before the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the Claridon is embodied by the renowned French liner a real ship.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Angela Lansbury are including the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the famous detective, fails to stop numerous characters being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Sam Neill act as a husband and wife seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the Pacific, where they rescue Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's tense movie is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

12. The Maggie Story (1954)

An Englishman, moving items for an American industrialist, is manipulated into employing a poor condition "Scottish vessel" in Alexander Mackendrick's harsh UK production in the rebellious tradition of his own previous work. Naturally, the vessel's UK commander and crew take the two landlubbers for a journey, in multiple interpretations of the word.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

The director imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension angle in this tension-filled yarn of explosives placed on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris act as bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a emotional portrayal in sadly funny despair.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This adaptation of Paul Gallico's book is one of the high points of the era of disaster movies. The fictional ship is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the flipped vessel to rescue. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of sports participation.

9. All is Lost (2013)

Robert Redford provides a late-career masterclass in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to stay alive in the specific sea after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a crash with an errant transport unit. It's stressful enough to watch, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The lead actor does sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the captain of an American cargo ship commandeered by African raiders off the specific location. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I control this vessel"), making a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's suspense film, derived from actual incidents. When the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
