19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A newborn, deserted on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, matures to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the vessel. The climax of the director's imaginative story is Roth fighting a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly shown as a overconfident individual.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The lead actor portrays a samurai-like nomad with webbed feet and a souped-up sailing vessel in this high-cost futuristic thriller, taking place in a future where disappearing glaciers have submerged the planet. Everyone is hunting for fabled solid ground while fending off the villain and his group of constantly puffing pirates.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of love story development between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of among history's notorious catastrophes. You have to admire the boldness of a film-maker who successfully transforms a fatalities of numerous victims into an heartening tale of freedom.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Working-class people, flamenco dancers and Nazi eugenicists rub shoulders on a passenger ship traveling from North America to Europe in 1933. This filmmaker's epic stars a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the film with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an explosion and the lead actor's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their quarters in this intense proto-disaster pic. Can the hero and a brave technician (the actor) save her before the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the Claridon is embodied by the renowned French liner a real ship.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star crime novelist detective story. The main star, as Hercule Poirot, is unable to halt half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman act as a married couple trying to get over the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a journey in the Pacific, where they save a co-star from a foundering ship. Big mistake! The director's thriller is essentially 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 British man, shipping goods for an US businessman, is tricked into hiring a dilapidated "type of boat" in this filmmaker's harsh Ealing comedy in the rebellious style of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the vessel's Scottish captain and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in every meaning of the word.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
Richard Lester imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension angle in this tension-filled yarn of bombs planted on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors play demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, serves up a heartbreaking portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This film version of the author's novel is one of the high points of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to direct his group through the inverted hull to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor gives a mature exemplary performance in one-man show as a individual struggling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is impaired in a collision with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers sterling work in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the captain of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding film debut as the criminal boss in the director's suspense film, inspired by actual incidents. When the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
