19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A baby, abandoned on the ocean-going ship the central location, matures to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the ship. The peak moment of Giuseppe Tornatore's whimsical hokum is Roth competing in a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately shown as a arrogant character.

17. Titanic (1997)
An extended period of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (the actor) are saved by the director's impressive reconstruction of among history's notorious tragedies. It's impossible not to respect the chutzpah of a film-maker who manages to twist a death toll of numerous victims into an heartening narrative of freedom.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a commercial vessel traveling from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. The director's large-scale film stars a legendary actress, in her final role, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an explosion and the protagonist's partner (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their room in this intense early catastrophe film. Can Stack and a courageous worker (Woody Strode) rescue her before the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the fictional ship is embodied by the famous historic ship an actual ocean liner.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star crime novelist detective story. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his potential killers to a manageable number. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they save another actor from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is essentially a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, moving goods for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into hiring a poor condition "Scottish vessel" in the director's dark British film in the subversive vein of his own earlier film. Of course, the ship's UK commander and crew take the two landlubbers for a trip, in every meaning of the word.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation tilt in this nerve-shredding story of bombs positioned on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's literary work is part of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his followers through the upturned hull to security. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful experience of sports participation.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a impact with an lost shipping container. 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 shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The lead actor does outstanding acting in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's suspense film, inspired by real events. When the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
