19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, abandoned on the passenger vessel a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the vessel. The highlight of Giuseppe Tornatore's whimsical hokum is Roth competing in a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a overconfident individual.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The main star plays a fighter-inspired drifter with mutated appendages and a enhanced watercraft in this high-cost futuristic thriller, taking place in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have submerged the world. Everyone is hunting for legendary terra firma while fending off Dennis Hopper and his group of chain-smoking marauders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an working-class man (the male lead) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of among history's well-known disasters.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Working-class people, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a passenger ship journeying from Latin America to the Continent in the interwar period. The director's large-scale film stars Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the film with its powerful impact.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an explosion and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is stranded in their room in this intense proto-disaster pic. Can the main character and a brave technician (the actor) rescue her ahead of the ship sinks? Interesting note: the Claridon is embodied by the famous European vessel a real ship.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are part of the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop numerous characters being killed, which whittles down his potential killers to a limited selection. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Nicole Kidman portray a husband and wife trying to get over the grief of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a journey in the Pacific, where they save a co-star from a foundering ship. Big mistake! This filmmaker's tense movie is essentially a horror film at sea, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, shipping goods for an US businessman, is tricked into employing a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in Alexander Mackendrick's brutal British film in the unconventional style of his own previous work. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a journey, in multiple interpretations of the expression.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a political dimension perspective in this tension-filled yarn of bombs placed on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors portray demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a touching depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of this writer's novel is one of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted vessel to rescue. a supporting player is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a practical background of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature masterclass in one-man show as a man fighting to survive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is impaired in a impact with an lost cargo box. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the skipper of an American cargo ship seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), making a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, inspired by real events. When the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
