19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A baby, left on the transatlantic liner the central location, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (Tim Roth) who never steps off the boat.

18. Ocean Planet (1995)
Kevin Costner portrays a samurai-like drifter with webbed feet and a enhanced watercraft in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, taking place in a later era where disappearing glaciers have inundated the Earth. All people is searching for fabled solid ground while resisting the villain and his group of constantly puffing raiders.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are saved by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of among history's most infamous disasters. It's impossible not to respect the boldness of a cinematic artist who manages to twist a death toll of 1,500 into an inspiring narrative of emancipation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Peasants, Spanish performers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a passenger ship sailing from Latin America to Europe in the pre-war era. The director's large-scale film includes a legendary actress, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the film with its dramatic punch.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The central vessel is destroyed in an blast and Robert Stack's wife (the co-star) is stranded in their cabin in this intense early catastrophe film. Is it possible for the main character and a brave technician (Woody Strode) free her before the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the fictional ship is played by the famous French liner a real ship.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are among the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast mystery writer detective story. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, fails to stop numerous characters being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors act as a married couple attempting to recover from the pain of their son's death by taking their yacht for a journey in the sea, where they recover another actor from a foundering ship. Poor decision! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is fundamentally a slasher movie at sea, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An UK citizen, moving furniture for an US businessman, is manipulated into employing a poor condition "type of boat" in Alexander Mackendrick's brutal Ealing comedy in the unconventional tradition of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the vessel's UK commander and crew trick the main characters for a ride, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director gives his suspense story a state-of-the-nation tilt in this nerve-shredding tale of bombs positioned on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors portray bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a heartbreaking study in tragicomic desperation.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's novel is one of the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the main protagonist to direct his followers through the inverted vessel to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful history of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a person fighting to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a crash with an lost cargo box. It's anxious enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks provides sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a outstanding initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's tense movie, inspired by real events. When the last scene fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
