17. Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are redeemed by this filmmaker's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious catastrophes.

Commoners, artistic entertainers and political extremists mingle on a commercial vessel traveling from North America to the Old World in 1933.

15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

The fictional ship is destroyed in an blast and Robert Stack's partner (the actress) is stuck in their cabin in this intense precursor to disaster movies.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are part of the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this all-star Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the famous detective, cannot prevent half the cast being killed, which whittles down his potential killers to a limited selection. Significantly better than the recent version.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Nicole Kidman act as a partners trying to get over the trauma of their child's passing by taking their yacht for a trip in the Pacific, where they rescue Billy Zane from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! The director's tense movie is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An British man, shipping items for an American industrialist, is tricked into using a dilapidated "Scottish vessel" in the director's harsh British film in the unconventional style of his own earlier film.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

Richard Lester imparts his suspense story a social commentary tilt in this anxiety-inducing tale of bombs planted on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.

This film version of Paul Gallico's book is one of the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The main star delivers a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a individual struggling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his personal boat, the main setting, is harmed in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to record.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor delivers excellent performance in part of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by Somali pirates off the specific location. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's thriller, based on actual incidents. Should the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.
