19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)

A baby, abandoned on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, grows up to be a gifted pianist (the lead actor) who remains aboard the vessel. The peak moment of Giuseppe Tornatore's fantastical tale is the protagonist competing in a piano duel with a jazz legend, somewhat unjustly shown as a overconfident individual.

18. Aquatic World (1995)

The main star acts as a warrior-esque wanderer with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this megabudget science fiction adventure, set in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the world. All people is seeking fabled solid ground while fighting off Dennis Hopper and his gang of chain-smoking raiders.

17. Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of tiresome canoodling between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are rescued by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's notorious tragedies. One must appreciate the chutzpah of a director who manages to twist a casualties of 1,500 into an emotionally uplifting tale of liberation.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Commoners, artistic entertainers and political extremists mingle on a commercial vessel journeying from Latin America to Europe in the pre-war era. This filmmaker's sweeping drama includes Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who deliver the movie with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The USS Claridon is destroyed in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (the co-star) is stranded in their quarters in this compelling early catastrophe film. Will the main character and a brave technician (Woody Strode) rescue her before the ship sinks? Interesting note: the Claridon is represented by the legendary French liner Île de France.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Bette Davis are among the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled mystery writer detective story. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, fails to stop half the cast being shot, which reduces his suspects to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Two lead actors play a married couple trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a journey in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a foundering ship. Costly error! This filmmaker's thriller is essentially a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an exceptionally well-made one that launched her career.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An Englishman, moving items for an American industrialist, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "type of boat" in the director's dark British film in the unconventional vein of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the vessel's British skipper and team deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in every meaning of the expression.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

The director gives his suspense story a political dimension angle in this tension-filled story of detonators positioned on a luxury liner, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors portray explosive technicians; another actor, as the cruise director, serves up a heartbreaking study in humorous tragedy.

10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

This adaptation of this writer's book is one of the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's the job of the lead character to direct his followers through the flipped ship to rescue. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy experience of athletic swimming.

9. Total Loss (2013)

The main star gives a experienced exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual battling to stay alive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a impact with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to record.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The main star does outstanding acting in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He's matched by a co-star ("I control this vessel"), providing a outstanding initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by actual incidents. If the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
