20. Ocean Terror (1998)

This filmmaker's sci-fi horror pulp follows a collection of attention-grabbing ensemble cast portraying soldiers of fortune contracted to demolish the cruise ship Argonautica. Yet a enormous cephalopod has got there first! Featuring the likely victims are Kevin J O'Connor as a gem smuggler.

19. 1900's Tale (1998)

A newborn, abandoned on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who remains aboard the vessel. The peak moment of this filmmaker's imaginative story is Roth competing in a musical showdown with a historical figure, arguably inaccurately shown as a overconfident individual.

18. Waterworld (1995)

The main star plays a warrior-esque wanderer with mutated appendages and a souped-up sailing vessel in this megabudget science fiction adventure, taking place in a future where disappearing glaciers have flooded the world. Everyone is searching for mythical Dryland while fending off the antagonist and his gang of continuously smoking marauders.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of love story development between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an working-class man (the actor) are rescued by James Cameron's impressive reconstruction of a famous well-known catastrophes. One must appreciate the audacity of a director who manages to twist a casualties of 1,500 into an heartening tale of emancipation.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Peasants, flamenco dancers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a passenger ship sailing from Mexico to the Old World in 1933. The director's sweeping drama features a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its dramatic punch.

15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an blast and the protagonist's wife (the actress) is trapped in their quarters in this compelling precursor to disaster movies. Will Stack and a brave technician (Woody Strode) free her before the ship sinks? Fun fact: the main setting is embodied by the legendary French liner Île de France.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are among the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie whodunit. The main star, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop several passengers being killed, which narrows his potential killers to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the 2022 remake.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Nicole Kidman portray a partners seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a journey in the Pacific, where they save another actor from a damaged vessel. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's thriller is fundamentally a slasher movie at sea, but an high-quality one that launched her career.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An Englishman, transporting goods for an US businessman, is manipulated into employing a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in this filmmaker's brutal Ealing comedy in the rebellious tradition of his own previous work. Predictably, the vessel's UK commander and staff deceive the inexperienced passengers for a journey, in every meaning of the word.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a political dimension tilt in this tension-filled yarn of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. Which wire to cut? Richard Harris act as explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the cruise director, provides a emotional study in sadly funny despair.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This cinematic interpretation of the author's book is among the zenith of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tsunami, and it's up to the lead character to lead his group through the flipped hull to safety. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of athletic swimming.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The lead actor provides a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a man struggling to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's stressful enough to view, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to film.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The main star provides outstanding acting in among his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I control this vessel"), making a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on actual incidents. Should the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.

7. Triangle (2009)

{Freak weather conditions|
