19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A newborn, deserted on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, matures to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who refuses to leave the ship. The highlight of Giuseppe Tornatore's imaginative story is the main character battling a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, somewhat unjustly depicted as a smug bastard.

17. Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of love story development between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are redeemed by James Cameron's spectacular recreation of a famous well-known disasters.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists rub shoulders on a passenger ship journeying from Latin America to the Old World in the pre-war era. The director's large-scale film includes a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (the actress) is trapped in their quarters in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Will Stack and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) free her ahead of the ship sinks? Interesting note: the fictional ship is represented by the legendary historic ship an actual ocean liner.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are part of the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast crime novelist murder mystery. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop numerous characters being stabbed, which reduces his potential killers to a limited selection. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Nicole Kidman play a married couple seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a journey in the sea, where they save a co-star from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! Phillip Noyce's tense movie is basically a horror film at sea, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, shipping items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is tricked into employing a poor condition "type of boat" in the director's harsh British film in the unconventional vein of his own previous work. Of course, the boat's British skipper and crew take the two landlubbers for a ride, in every meaning of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
Richard Lester imparts his catastrophe film a political dimension angle in this nerve-shredding story of detonators positioned on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. Which wire to cut? David Hemmings act as demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a touching study in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's literary work is among the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's up to the main protagonist to lead his group through the inverted ship to safety. the actress is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a practical experience of athletic swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford delivers a experienced brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a person struggling to survive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is impaired in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to watch, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), making a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's thriller, based on real events. Should the concluding moment fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
