19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A infant, left on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who refuses to leave the vessel. The climax of this filmmaker's imaginative story is the main character battling a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The main star acts as a warrior-esque drifter with mutated appendages and a modified watercraft in this high-cost science fiction adventure, located in a later era where disappearing glaciers have inundated the world. The entire population is seeking mythical Dryland while fighting off Dennis Hopper and his band of chain-smoking raiders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of romantic interludes between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by James Cameron's impressive reconstruction of a famous well-known tragedies. It's impossible not to respect the chutzpah of a director who artfully converts a fatalities of 1,500 into an inspiring tale of emancipation.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Peasants, flamenco dancers and political extremists rub shoulders on a passenger ship sailing from Mexico to Europe in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's epic stars Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the vessel's physician, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an detonation and the lead actor's partner (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their room in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Will the main character and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) save her ahead of the boat submerges? Fun fact: the Claridon is played by the renowned European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are part of the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt several passengers being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman act as a partners attempting to recover from the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a journey in the ocean, where they rescue another actor from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! This filmmaker's thriller is essentially a horror film at sea, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an American industrialist, is deceived into using a dilapidated "type of boat" in Alexander Mackendrick's brutal Ealing comedy in the rebellious tradition of his own previous work. Naturally, the vessel's UK commander and crew take the two landlubbers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the expression.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his catastrophe film a political dimension angle in this tension-filled story of detonators planted on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors portray explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, delivers a emotional portrayal in tragicomic desperation.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's novel is part of the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his flock through the inverted hull to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a useful experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star delivers a late-career masterclass in one-man show as a individual struggling to endure in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a crash with an lost shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star does excellent performance in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, based on actual incidents. If the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
