19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A infant, deserted on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, grows up to be a gifted pianist (the main star) who never steps off the boat.

18. Aquatic World (1995)
The lead actor portrays a warrior-esque nomad with aquatic adaptations and a souped-up trimaran in this high-cost futuristic thriller, set in a later era where vanishing ice sheets have inundated the planet. The entire population is hunting for fabled solid ground while fending off Dennis Hopper and his band of constantly puffing marauders.

The director's sweeping drama includes a legendary actress, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)

Will the main character and a brave technician (the actor) free her prior to the ship sinks? Fun fact: the main setting is represented by the renowned European vessel Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are part of the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star mystery writer whodunit. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop half the cast being killed, which narrows his suspects to a limited selection. Bags more fun than the 2022 remake.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill portray a partners attempting to recover from the pain of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a spin in the ocean, where they save another actor from a foundering ship. Poor decision! This filmmaker's tense movie is essentially a slasher movie at in maritime setting, but an ultra-classy one that made her famous.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

11. Juggernaut (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a social commentary angle in this nerve-shredding story of bombs placed on a passenger ship, the main setting. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors portray demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, provides a heartbreaking portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's book is among the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's up to the main protagonist to direct his flock through the upturned hull to security. Shelley Winters is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a handy experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star delivers a late-career brilliant acting in one-man show as a man battling to endure in the maritime location after his personal boat, the main setting, is harmed in a collision with an lost transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor does outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), making a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's thriller, inspired by true stories. Should the concluding moment fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
