20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
This filmmaker's science fiction thriller follows a group of scene-stealing character actors acting as mercenaries hired to destroy the luxury liner the main setting. Yet a giant mutant octopus has beaten them to it! Featuring the endangered passengers are Treat Williams as a gem smuggler.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, abandoned on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (the lead actor) who refuses to leave the boat. The peak moment of Giuseppe Tornatore's fantastical tale is the main character fighting a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a arrogant character.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
Kevin Costner plays a samurai-like drifter with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this big-budget sci-fi B-movie, set in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have inundated the Earth. The entire population is seeking fabled solid ground while fighting off the villain and his band of continuously smoking pirates.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
An extended period of love story development between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (the male lead) are redeemed by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's notorious disasters. One must appreciate the audacity of a director who successfully transforms a casualties of 1,500 into an emotionally uplifting story of emancipation.
16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and political extremists rub shoulders on a ocean liner traveling from North America to the Old World in 1933. This filmmaker's sweeping drama includes Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a melancholy character, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who supply the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The central vessel is destroyed in an detonation and the lead actor's spouse (the co-star) is stranded in their quarters in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Will the hero and a heroic engineer (the actor) save her ahead of the vessel goes down? Curious detail: the main setting is played by the legendary historic ship Île de France.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are part of the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being killed, which whittles down his suspects to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the recent version.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Sam Neill act as a husband and wife seeking to heal from the grief of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the sea, where they rescue a co-star from a foundering ship. Big mistake! The director's tense movie is basically a slasher movie at sea, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An Englishman, moving furniture for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into employing a dilapidated "type of boat" in the director's dark Ealing comedy in the subversive vein of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the boat's British skipper and crew trick the main characters for a journey, in every meaning of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation tilt in this tension-filled yarn of explosives planted on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris act as demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This film version of Paul Gallico's literary work is one of the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted hull to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical background of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor delivers a mature masterclass in solo performance as a individual battling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The main star does excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the skipper of an American cargo ship commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a sensational film debut as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, inspired by actual incidents. If the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
