20. Deep Rising (1998)
The director's sci-fi horror pulp details a bunch of scene-stealing character actors acting as hired guns hired to sink the passenger vessel the main setting. However a giant mutant octopus has beaten them to it! Among the potential cephalopod fodder are Treat Williams as a diamond criminal.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A newborn, left on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, develops to be a accomplished musician (the lead actor) who never steps off the vessel. The climax of the director's whimsical hokum is Roth battling a piano duel with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly depicted as a arrogant character.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The lead actor plays a fighter-inspired drifter with webbed feet and a modified watercraft in this high-cost science fiction adventure, set in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the world. Everyone is seeking mythical Dryland while fending off the villain and his gang of continuously smoking raiders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of romantic interludes between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) are saved by the director's impressive reconstruction of among history's notorious tragedies. One must appreciate the chutzpah of a film-maker who manages to twist a casualties of numerous victims into an heartening story of emancipation.
16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Peasants, Spanish performers and German ideologists mingle on a commercial vessel journeying from North America to Europe in 1933. The director's sweeping drama features a cinema icon, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is destroyed in an explosion and Robert Stack's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their room in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Can the hero and a brave technician (the actor) free her ahead of the boat submerges? Interesting note: the fictional ship is represented by the renowned European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled mystery writer whodunit. The main star, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being shot, which narrows his persons of interest to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the recent version.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Two lead actors act as a married couple seeking to heal from the pain of their child's passing by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! The director's thriller is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An UK citizen, shipping furniture for an US businessman, is deceived into employing a dilapidated "Scottish vessel" in the director's dark British film in the subversive style of his own previous work. Predictably, the ship's UK commander and staff deceive the inexperienced passengers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
Richard Lester imparts his catastrophe film a political dimension perspective in this nerve-shredding tale of explosives planted on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris play explosive technicians; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a touching portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's literary work is part of the high points of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's up to the lead character to lead his group through the inverted hull to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star provides a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a man fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is harmed in a collision with an errant transport unit. It's stressful enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor does outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding first movie role as the raider leader in this filmmaker's thriller, based on real events. If the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
