19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A newborn, left on the ocean-going ship the central location, develops to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who refuses to leave the boat. The peak moment of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is the protagonist battling a keyboard contest with a historical figure, rather unfairly shown as a overconfident individual.
18. Waterworld (1995)
The main star plays a fighter-inspired nomad with mutated appendages and a souped-up sailing vessel in this megabudget futuristic thriller, taking place in a future where disappearing glaciers have submerged the world.

Peasants, flamenco dancers and political extremists rub shoulders on a passenger ship traveling from Latin America to the Continent in 1933. The director's epic includes a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who provide the film with its emotional wallop.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an detonation and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is stuck in their quarters in this gripping early catastrophe film. Will the hero and a brave technician (the actor) free her before the vessel goes down? Curious detail: the Claridon is represented by the legendary French liner Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are including the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star mystery writer whodunit.

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman play a partners trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a spin in the ocean, where they rescue Billy Zane from a damaged vessel. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's thriller is essentially a horror film at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)

Naturally, the ship's Scottish captain and team trick the main characters for a trip, in all senses of the expression.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker provides his disaster thriller a social commentary perspective in this tension-filled tale of detonators positioned on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris portray bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a heartbreaking portrayal in humorous tragedy.

This adaptation of this writer's book is one of the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's the job of the lead character to direct his followers through the flipped ship to rescue. Shelley Winters is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a handy experience of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a experienced brilliant acting in one-man show as a man struggling to survive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the main setting, is harmed in a collision with an errant transport unit. It's stressful enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
Tom Hanks provides sterling work in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), providing a remarkable film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on real events. Should the last scene doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
