19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A newborn, abandoned on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, develops to be a gifted pianist (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the ship. The peak moment of the director's whimsical hokum is the main character fighting a keyboard contest with a historical figure, rather unfairly portrayed as a arrogant character.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Peasants, flamenco dancers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a ocean liner traveling from Mexico to Europe in 1933. The director's large-scale film features a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an blast and the protagonist's spouse (the co-star) is trapped in their room in this compelling precursor to disaster movies. Will the hero and a heroic engineer (the actor) save her ahead of the vessel goes down? Curious detail: the fictional ship is represented by the famous European vessel Île de France.

Bette Davis are part of the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star mystery writer detective story.

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill portray a married couple attempting to recover from the trauma of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the sea, where they save Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Poor decision! The director's thriller is fundamentally a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an exceptionally well-made one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, shipping items for an American industrialist, is deceived into using a poor condition "Scottish vessel" in Alexander Mackendrick's brutal British film in the subversive vein of his own earlier film. Predictably, the vessel's British skipper and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in all senses of the word.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a political dimension perspective in this anxiety-inducing yarn of detonators planted on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris portray bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the cruise director, delivers a heartbreaking study in tragicomic desperation.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's book is among the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The fictional ship is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the job of the lead character to guide his followers through the upturned hull to safety. a supporting player is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a practical history of sports participation.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The main star gives a mature brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a person fighting to endure in the maritime location after his yacht, the fictional ship, is damaged in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's anxious enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the commander of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from actual incidents. When the final sequence fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
