20. Abyssal Attack (1998)

19. 1900's Tale (1998)

A infant, abandoned on the passenger vessel the central location, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who refuses to leave the ship. The peak moment of the director's fantastical tale is the protagonist fighting a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly shown as a arrogant character.

18. Aquatic World (1995)

The lead actor plays a fighter-inspired nomad with webbed feet and a enhanced sailing vessel in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, located in a later era where disappearing glaciers have inundated the planet. Everyone is hunting for mythical Dryland while fending off the villain and his band of chain-smoking pirates.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of romantic interludes between a posh chick (the female lead) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are rescued by the director's spectacular recreation of among history's notorious catastrophes. You have to admire the boldness of a film-maker who successfully transforms a casualties of 1,500 into an inspiring tale of liberation.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Peasants, Spanish performers and political extremists rub shoulders on a commercial vessel journeying from Latin America to Europe in the interwar period. This filmmaker's sweeping drama stars a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a melancholy character, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its dramatic punch.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The fictional ship is destroyed in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (the actress) is stuck in their quarters in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Can Stack and a heroic engineer (the actor) free her before the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the fictional ship is represented by the renowned French liner a real ship.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are including the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star crime novelist whodunit. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop half the cast being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a manageable number. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Sam Neill play a partners seeking to heal from the grief of their child's passing by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the Pacific, where they rescue Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! The director's tense movie is basically a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

An British man, shipping goods for an American industrialist, is tricked into hiring a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in Alexander Mackendrick's dark UK production in the subversive vein of his own previous work. Predictably, the ship's UK commander and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a journey, in all senses of the expression.

11. Juggernaut (1974)

The director gives his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of bombs planted on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings portray demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a touching depiction in tragicomic desperation.

10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

This adaptation of the author's novel is part of the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's up to the lead character to lead his flock through the inverted hull to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a practical experience of sports participation.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)

Robert Redford gives a late-career exemplary performance in one-man show as a man struggling to survive in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a impact with an lost shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the elderly actor to record.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The lead actor delivers excellent performance in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the captain of an American cargo ship commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by real events. If the last scene doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
