19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A baby, deserted on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the vessel. The highlight of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is the main character battling a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately shown as a smug bastard.
18. Waterworld (1995)
Kevin Costner plays a warrior-esque nomad with mutated appendages and a modified trimaran in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the world. All people is seeking mythical Dryland while resisting the antagonist and his group of continuously smoking marauders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by this filmmaker's breathtaking depiction of one the 20th century's well-known disasters. It's impossible not to respect the boldness of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a casualties of over a thousand into an emotionally uplifting tale of emancipation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Commoners, flamenco dancers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a passenger ship sailing from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. This filmmaker's sweeping drama features a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their cabin in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Is it possible for the hero and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) rescue her prior to the ship sinks? Interesting note: the Claridon is represented by the renowned historic ship Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are including the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast crime novelist murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop half the cast being shot, which whittles down his suspects to a manageable number. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman portray a husband and wife seeking to heal from the grief of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a spin in the sea, where they save Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Costly error! This filmmaker's suspense film is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at in maritime setting, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An Englishman, transporting goods for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into using a run-down "type of boat" in the director's brutal British film in the rebellious style of his own previous work. Naturally, the vessel's British skipper and crew take the two landlubbers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
Richard Lester provides his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this tension-filled tale of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors play explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the cruise director, serves up a heartbreaking study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (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 tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the flipped ship to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a useful background of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford gives a experienced exemplary performance in solo performance as a individual struggling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a impact with an lost shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in part of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the captain of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the geographical area. He's matched by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on true stories. If the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
