19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A infant, abandoned on the ocean-going ship SS Virginian, matures to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who never steps off the ship. The climax of the director's imaginative story is Roth fighting a musical showdown with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly shown as a smug bastard.

Peasants, artistic entertainers and German ideologists interact on a commercial vessel journeying from Mexico to the Old World in 1933. This filmmaker's large-scale film features a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their room in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Is it possible for the main character and a courageous worker (the actor) save her before the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the fictional ship is played by the renowned European vessel Île de France.

Two legendary actresses are part of the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit.

13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors act as a partners attempting to recover from the trauma of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a trip in the sea, where they recover Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Costly error! The director's tense movie is basically a horror film at in maritime setting, but an exceptionally well-made one that launched her career.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an US businessman, is deceived into employing a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in this filmmaker's harsh UK production in the rebellious tradition of his own earlier film.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a social commentary perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of explosives positioned on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Which wire to cut? David Hemmings play bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the cruise director, serves up a touching portrayal in humorous tragedy.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This adaptation of the author's book is among the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The SS Poseidon is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's up to the lead character to guide his group through the flipped vessel to rescue. a supporting player is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful experience of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor delivers a mature exemplary performance in one-man show as a individual fighting to survive in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is impaired in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The main star provides excellent performance in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the commander of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the specific location. He's matched by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's tense movie, derived from real events. Should the final sequence fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
