20. Ocean Terror (1998)

Stephen Sommers' science fiction thriller details a bunch of memorable character actors acting as hired guns employed to sink the passenger vessel the main setting. However a giant mutant octopus has got there first! Among the likely victims are Treat Williams as a gem smuggler.

19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)

A newborn, abandoned on the passenger vessel a fictional ship, develops to be a gifted pianist (Tim Roth) who never steps off the vessel. The highlight of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is Roth fighting a musical showdown with a jazz legend, arguably inaccurately depicted as a arrogant character.

18. Waterworld (1995)

The lead actor acts as a fighter-inspired wanderer with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this high-cost futuristic thriller, located in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the world. All people is seeking legendary terra firma while resisting the villain and his group of chain-smoking raiders.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

Two hours of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are redeemed by James Cameron's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's well-known tragedies. You have to admire the audacity of a film-maker who artfully converts a death toll of 1,500 into an heartening story of liberation.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)

Working-class people, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a commercial vessel journeying from North America to Europe in the interwar period. This filmmaker's large-scale film stars Vivien Leigh, in her last performance, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a aristocratic rebel, who deliver the motion picture with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an explosion and the protagonist's partner (the actress) is stuck in their cabin in this compelling early catastrophe film. Is it possible for the hero and a brave technician (the supporting player) rescue her ahead of the ship sinks? Interesting note: the Claridon is played by the renowned European vessel Île de France.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are among the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star Agatha Christie murder mystery. The main star, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent several passengers being shot, which whittles down his suspects to a limited selection. Significantly better than the 2022 remake.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Sam Neill act as a husband and wife trying to get over the trauma of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the Pacific, where they save a co-star from a foundering ship. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's tense movie is essentially a slasher movie at sea, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

An Englishman, moving furniture for an American industrialist, is deceived into using a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's brutal British film in the rebellious style of his own Whisky Galore!. Of course, the ship's Scottish captain and staff deceive the inexperienced passengers for a journey, in every meaning of the word.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

Richard Lester provides his suspense story a political dimension perspective in this anxiety-inducing story of detonators positioned on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors act as bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a emotional study in humorous tragedy.

10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

This cinematic interpretation of the author's novel is part of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's the job of the lead character to guide his followers through the flipped hull to security. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy history of sports participation.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The lead actor provides a mature brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a person battling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the main setting, is impaired in a crash with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The lead actor does outstanding acting in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the specific location. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a sensational first movie role as the raider leader in the director's tense movie, derived from actual incidents. If the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
