19. 1900's Tale (1998)

A baby, left on the passenger vessel a fictional ship, matures to be a gifted pianist (the main star) who refuses to leave the ship. The climax of the director's imaginative story is the main character battling a keyboard contest with a jazz legend, rather unfairly depicted as a overconfident individual.

18. Waterworld (1995)

The main star portrays a samurai-like nomad with aquatic adaptations and a modified watercraft in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, set in a future where vanishing ice sheets have submerged the world. All people is hunting for legendary terra firma while resisting Dennis Hopper and his band of chain-smoking raiders.

17. The Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of tiresome canoodling between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are rescued by James Cameron's impressive reconstruction of among history's well-known catastrophes.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Peasants, flamenco dancers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a passenger ship journeying from Mexico to Europe in the interwar period. Stanley Kramer's epic features Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who provide the film with its emotional wallop.

15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an detonation and Robert Stack's spouse (the actress) is stuck in their cabin in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the hero and a courageous worker (Woody Strode) free her before the ship sinks? Interesting note: the main setting is embodied by the renowned French liner an actual ocean liner.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Angela Lansbury are among the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie murder mystery. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent several passengers being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the 2022 remake.

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Two lead actors portray a husband and wife attempting to recover from the pain of their child's passing by taking their yacht for a journey in the Pacific, where they save Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Big mistake! The director's tense movie is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An UK citizen, transporting items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into employing a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in this filmmaker's brutal Ealing comedy in the subversive vein of his own earlier film. Predictably, the ship's UK commander and team trick the main characters for a journey, in every meaning of the term.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

Richard Lester gives his suspense story a social commentary perspective in this tension-filled yarn of explosives positioned on a luxury liner, the main setting. What's the correct choice? David Hemmings act as bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a heartbreaking depiction in tragicomic desperation.

10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)

This film version of the author's novel is part of the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is capsized by a tsunami, and it's up to the main protagonist to direct his followers through the upturned vessel to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a handy history of athletic swimming.

9. Total Loss (2013)

The main star delivers a mature brilliant acting in solo performance as a individual fighting to survive in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is harmed in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

Tom Hanks delivers excellent performance in part of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport hijacked by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a sensational film debut as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's thriller, inspired by real events. Should the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're not human.

7. Geometric Shape (2009)
