19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, abandoned on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, develops to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who remains aboard the ship. The peak moment of the director's whimsical hokum is Roth battling a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly shown as a smug bastard.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The lead actor acts as a fighter-inspired drifter with webbed feet and a souped-up trimaran in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the Earth. Everyone is seeking legendary terra firma while fending off the antagonist and his band of chain-smoking marauders.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an working-class man (the actor) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of a famous notorious tragedies.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Working-class people, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a commercial vessel traveling from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. Stanley Kramer's epic features Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a aristocratic rebel, who provide the film with its powerful impact.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an explosion and the lead actor's spouse (the actress) is trapped in their room in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the main character and a heroic engineer (the actor) save her prior to the vessel goes down?

14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury 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 half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his persons of interest to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife seeking to heal from the pain of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a spin in the sea, where they save another actor from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is basically a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, moving items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is tricked into hiring a run-down "type of boat" in the director's dark Ealing comedy in the subversive tradition of his own previous work. Naturally, the boat's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a trip, in every meaning of the term.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
The director provides his catastrophe film a political dimension tilt in this tension-filled tale of explosives placed on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a touching portrayal in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's novel is one of the high points of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted hull to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a useful history of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor gives a experienced exemplary performance in solo performance as a man fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is harmed in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to watch, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star does outstanding acting in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the commander of an commercial transport commandeered by African raiders off the specific location. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a sensational film debut as the pirate chief in the director's thriller, inspired by real events. If the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
