20. Ocean Terror (1998)
The director's futuristic scarefest follows a bunch of scene-stealing character actors portraying soldiers of fortune hired to sink the passenger vessel the main setting. But a giant mutant octopus has got there first! Including the likely victims are Famke Janssen as a gem smuggler.
19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A newborn, abandoned on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who remains aboard the vessel. The peak moment of this filmmaker's imaginative story is Roth competing in a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately depicted as a smug bastard.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The main star portrays a warrior-esque wanderer with aquatic adaptations and a enhanced watercraft in this megabudget science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have submerged the world. All people is hunting for fabled solid ground while fighting off the antagonist and his gang of chain-smoking marauders.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are saved by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's notorious disasters. You have to admire the chutzpah of a director who artfully converts a casualties of over a thousand into an emotionally uplifting tale of liberation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Peasants, artistic entertainers and German ideologists interact on a passenger ship traveling from Mexico to Europe in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's epic includes Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who provide the motion picture with its dramatic punch.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (the co-star) is stranded in their cabin in this intense proto-disaster pic. Will Stack and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) rescue her ahead of the boat submerges? Interesting note: the Claridon is embodied by the legendary historic ship a real ship.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are among the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this all-star crime novelist whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt half the cast being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors play a husband and wife seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a trip in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a foundering ship. Costly error! Phillip Noyce's thriller is essentially a horror film at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An British man, transporting items for an US businessman, is tricked into hiring a run-down "type of boat" in this filmmaker's harsh UK production in the subversive tradition of his own previous work. Naturally, the vessel's British skipper and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a political dimension tilt in this nerve-shredding tale of detonators placed on a commercial vessel, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris play bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a emotional portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's novel is among the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his followers through the upturned hull to rescue. a supporting player is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical history of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor provides a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a individual fighting to survive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a impact with an stray transport unit. It's stressful enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
Tom Hanks does sterling work in among his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport commandeered by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He's matched by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), making a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by real events. If the concluding moment doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
