19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A baby, left on the transatlantic liner the central location, develops to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who never steps off the vessel. The peak moment of this filmmaker's imaginative story is the protagonist fighting a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, somewhat unjustly depicted as a arrogant character.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and political extremists mingle on a ocean liner sailing from Latin America to the Continent in the pre-war era. The director's large-scale film includes a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the movie with its dramatic punch.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (the co-star) is stranded in their cabin in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Will Stack and a courageous worker (Woody Strode) rescue her before the ship sinks? Interesting note: the fictional ship is embodied by the renowned European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled crime novelist whodunit. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, cannot prevent several passengers being stabbed, which reduces his potential killers to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife attempting to recover from the grief of their son's death by sailing their boat for a journey in the ocean, where they save Billy Zane from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! This filmmaker's tense movie is fundamentally a horror film at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An British man, shipping furniture for an US businessman, is manipulated into hiring a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in this filmmaker's harsh British film in the subversive tradition of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and staff trick the main characters for a trip, in every meaning of the expression.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a political dimension angle in this nerve-shredding tale of explosives positioned on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors play demolition specialists; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a emotional study in tragicomic desperation.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's novel is among the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is capsized by a tsunami, and it's up to the lead character to direct his group through the inverted ship to security. a supporting player is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical history of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford gives a mature brilliant acting in one-man show as a man battling to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a impact with an errant shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He's matched by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a outstanding film debut as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, derived from actual incidents. Should the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
