19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, left on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who never steps off the vessel. The peak moment of Giuseppe Tornatore's fantastical tale is Roth battling a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately depicted as a overconfident individual.
18. Waterworld (1995)
The lead actor plays a samurai-like wanderer with webbed feet and a souped-up sailing vessel in this high-cost science fiction adventure, set in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have inundated the planet.

17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an free-spirited artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by James Cameron's breathtaking depiction of among history's well-known tragedies. One must appreciate the boldness of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a fatalities of numerous victims into an inspiring narrative of freedom.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Peasants, artistic entertainers and political extremists mingle on a ocean liner journeying from North America to the Continent in 1933. The director's sweeping drama stars a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their quarters in this compelling proto-disaster pic. Can the hero and a courageous worker (Woody Strode) rescue her ahead of the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the fictional ship is embodied by the renowned French liner Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. The lead actor, as the famous detective, cannot prevent numerous characters being killed, which whittles down his suspects to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the 2022 remake.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Sam Neill act as a husband and wife attempting to recover from the pain of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a journey in the sea, where they recover a co-star from a damaged vessel. Big mistake! The director's suspense film is basically a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an wealthy entrepreneur, is tricked into using a run-down "type of boat" in the director's brutal British film in the unconventional tradition of his own previous work. Naturally, the vessel's UK commander and staff take the two landlubbers for a journey, in every meaning of the expression.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a political dimension perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of bombs planted on a commercial vessel, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors play demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's novel is among the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's the job of the main protagonist to guide his followers through the upturned hull to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor provides a late-career exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual battling to endure in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a crash with an lost shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The main star provides sterling work in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an US merchant vessel commandeered by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), providing a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's thriller, inspired by true stories. If the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
