19. The 1900 Story (1998)

A newborn, left on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, grows up to be a gifted pianist (the lead actor) who refuses to leave the boat.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

Peasants, Spanish performers and political extremists interact on a ocean liner sailing from Mexico to Europe in the pre-war era. This filmmaker's epic features a legendary actress, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an blast and Robert Stack's wife (the actress) is stuck in their quarters in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Will the hero and a heroic engineer (the actor) save her prior to the ship sinks? Curious detail: the fictional ship is embodied by the legendary historic ship an actual ocean liner.

Bette Davis are part of the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie murder mystery.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Two lead actors act as a husband and wife attempting to recover from the grief of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a spin in the sea, where they save a co-star from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! The director's suspense film is fundamentally a slasher movie at sea, but an ultra-classy one that made her famous.

12. The Maggie Story (1954)

An British man, shipping items for an US businessman, is deceived into hiring a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's harsh Ealing comedy in the rebellious tradition of his own earlier film.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

This filmmaker imparts his catastrophe film a social commentary tilt in this nerve-shredding tale of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors act as demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.

10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

This film version of Paul Gallico's literary work is among the zenith of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his flock through the inverted ship to safety. a supporting player is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a useful background of sports participation.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)

The lead actor gives a experienced brilliant acting in solo performance as a person battling to endure in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is harmed in a impact with an lost shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to film.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The main star delivers excellent performance in among his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport hijacked by maritime criminals off the specific location. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I control this vessel"), delivering a sensational first movie role as the raider leader in this filmmaker's tense movie, inspired by real events. If the final sequence fails to move you, you have no heart.

7. Geometric Shape (2009)
