19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A newborn, deserted on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who never steps off the vessel. The climax of Giuseppe Tornatore's imaginative story is the main character competing in a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The main star portrays a warrior-esque drifter with aquatic adaptations and a enhanced trimaran in this big-budget science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where disappearing glaciers have submerged the Earth. All people is searching for fabled solid ground while resisting Dennis Hopper and his band of chain-smoking raiders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
An extended period of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an working-class man (the male lead) are saved by James Cameron's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious tragedies.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Working-class people, Spanish performers and political extremists interact on a commercial vessel sailing from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama includes a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who supply the movie with its dramatic punch.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an explosion and Robert Stack's partner (the actress) is stuck in their room in this intense early catastrophe film. Can the hero and a courageous worker (the actor) free her prior to the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the fictional ship is played by the renowned French liner an actual ocean liner.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are among the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star Agatha Christie murder mystery. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, fails to stop several passengers being stabbed, which whittles down his persons of interest to a manageable number. Much more enjoyable than the 2022 remake.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors act as a married couple seeking to heal from the grief of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a spin in the ocean, where they rescue a co-star from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! The director's suspense film is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An UK citizen, moving items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into hiring a dilapidated "Scottish vessel" in Alexander Mackendrick's dark UK production in the subversive style of his own Whisky Galore!. Predictably, the vessel's Scottish captain and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in every meaning of the expression.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this tension-filled story of explosives positioned on a commercial vessel, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings portray bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching portrayal in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's novel is among the high points of the era of disaster movies. The central vessel is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his flock through the inverted ship to security. a supporting player is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a handy experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor delivers a experienced masterclass in single character portrayal as a individual battling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor provides sterling work in one of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a outstanding initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, derived from actual incidents. Should the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
