19. The 1900 Story (1998)

A infant, left on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, grows up to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who never steps off the vessel. The climax of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is the main character fighting a keyboard contest with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly shown as a smug bastard.

18. Aquatic World (1995)

The main star portrays a warrior-esque nomad with aquatic adaptations and a modified watercraft in this big-budget futuristic thriller, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the world.

17. Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of romantic interludes between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are rescued by the director's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious disasters. One must appreciate the audacity of a director who successfully transforms a fatalities of over a thousand into an inspiring story of liberation.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Working-class people, flamenco dancers and political extremists interact on a commercial vessel sailing from Latin America to the Old World in the pre-war era. The director's epic features a legendary actress, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.

15. Final Journey (1960)

The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an blast and Robert Stack's wife (the co-star) is trapped in their room in this compelling early catastrophe film. Will Stack and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) rescue her prior to the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the main setting is represented by the legendary French liner an actual ocean liner.

14. Murder on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are part of the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star crime novelist detective story. The lead actor, as the famous detective, fails to stop several passengers being stabbed, which narrows his potential killers to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the recent version.

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Nicole Kidman play a married couple seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they save a co-star from a damaged vessel. Costly error! This filmmaker's tense movie is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that made her famous.

12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

An British man, transporting items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "Clyde puffer" in the director's harsh UK production in the rebellious vein of his own earlier film.

11. Juggernaut (1974)

Richard Lester provides his suspense story a social commentary perspective in this tension-filled story of bombs placed on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors portray bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This adaptation of Paul Gallico's literary work is among the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tsunami, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his flock through the flipped hull to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a useful history of sports participation.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The lead actor provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a man struggling to stay alive in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is damaged in a crash with an stray transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

Tom Hanks does outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the commander of an American cargo ship hijacked by maritime criminals off the specific location. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the raider leader in the director's thriller, derived from true stories. When the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.

7. Triangle (2009)
