19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A baby, deserted on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who never steps off the boat. The highlight of Giuseppe Tornatore's imaginative story is the main character fighting a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately shown as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The main star portrays a warrior-esque drifter with aquatic adaptations and a modified watercraft in this high-cost science fiction adventure, located in a later era where disappearing glaciers have flooded the world. Everyone is seeking fabled solid ground while resisting Dennis Hopper and his gang of constantly puffing marauders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an working-class man (the male lead) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of among history's notorious tragedies. You have to admire the chutzpah of a director who manages to twist a death toll of over a thousand into an heartening tale of freedom.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Commoners, flamenco dancers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a ocean liner traveling from North America to the Continent in 1933. Stanley Kramer's epic includes a cinema icon, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's another actor, as the vessel's physician, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the film with its dramatic punch.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an detonation and Robert Stack's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their quarters in this intense early catastrophe film. Can the main character and a brave technician (Woody Strode) rescue her ahead of the ship sinks? Fun fact: the main setting is embodied by the renowned European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are including the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist detective story. Peter Ustinov, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop several passengers being shot, which narrows his potential killers to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife trying to get over the trauma of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a journey in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! The director's tense movie is fundamentally a horror film at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An UK citizen, shipping items for an US businessman, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "Scottish vessel" in the director's harsh UK production in the subversive tradition of his own earlier film. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and team deceive the inexperienced passengers for a trip, in all senses of the expression.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a political dimension tilt in this anxiety-inducing story of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris play explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This adaptation of Paul Gallico's novel is part of the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the job of the lead character to guide his flock through the upturned hull to safety. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a handy background of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature brilliant acting in one-man show as a person battling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a impact with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to view, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks does outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the specific location. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on real events. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
