19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A baby, deserted on the passenger vessel the central location, grows up to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the ship. The climax of the director's whimsical hokum is the protagonist competing in a piano duel with a historical figure, rather unfairly shown as a arrogant character.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
Kevin Costner portrays a fighter-inspired wanderer with webbed feet and a enhanced watercraft in this high-cost science fiction adventure, taking place in a future where melting polar ice-caps have flooded the Earth. The entire population is searching for mythical Dryland while resisting the villain and his group of constantly puffing pirates.
17. Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of romantic interludes between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are rescued by the director's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's most infamous tragedies. You have to admire the chutzpah of a cinematic artist who manages to twist a death toll of 1,500 into an inspiring narrative of freedom.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Peasants, artistic entertainers and political extremists mingle on a ocean liner traveling from Latin America to the Continent in 1933. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama features Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the vessel's physician, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its dramatic punch.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The fictional ship is ripped apart in an detonation and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is trapped in their room in this compelling early catastrophe film. Is it possible for Stack and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) rescue her prior to the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the Claridon is played by the famous French liner a real ship.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are among the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit. The main star, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop several passengers being killed, which whittles down his suspects to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman play a partners trying to get over the grief of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the Pacific, where they recover Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Big mistake! This filmmaker's tense movie is basically a horror film at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, shipping items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into hiring a dilapidated "type of boat" in this filmmaker's brutal UK production in the subversive vein of his own Whisky Galore!. Of course, the boat's Scottish captain and crew take the two landlubbers for a ride, in every meaning of the word.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
The director imparts his catastrophe film a political dimension angle in this anxiety-inducing story of bombs planted on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? David Hemmings portray bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This adaptation of the author's book is one of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the job of the main protagonist to direct his flock through the inverted hull to rescue. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a practical background of athletic swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor provides a late-career brilliant acting in one-man show as a person battling to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor delivers outstanding acting in among his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the commander of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a remarkable first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from real events. When the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
