17. The Titanic (1997)

Two hours of romantic interludes between a posh chick (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are saved by the director's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's well-known catastrophes.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Peasants, flamenco dancers and political extremists interact on a passenger ship journeying from North America to the Continent in the pre-war era. This filmmaker's sweeping drama stars a cinema icon, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who supply the movie with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The fictional ship is ripped apart in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (the actress) is trapped in their quarters in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Can the main character and a brave technician (the supporting player) free her prior to the vessel goes down?

14. Nile Killing (1978)

Two legendary actresses are including the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled crime novelist whodunit. The lead actor, as the famous detective, is unable to halt several passengers being killed, which narrows his persons of interest to a limited selection. Significantly better than the modern adaptation.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Two lead actors act as a husband and wife attempting to recover from the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a spin in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a foundering ship.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An British man, shipping goods for an American industrialist, is manipulated into using a poor condition "Scottish vessel" in Alexander Mackendrick's harsh UK production in the subversive vein of his own Whisky Galore!.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

This filmmaker gives his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation tilt in this anxiety-inducing tale of detonators placed on a commercial vessel, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris portray explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a emotional depiction in tragicomic desperation.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This film version of Paul Gallico's literary work is part of the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his group through the flipped vessel to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a handy background of sports participation.

9. Total Loss (2013)

Robert Redford gives a late-career brilliant acting in solo performance as a individual battling to survive in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is damaged in a impact with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor delivers outstanding acting in part of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel seized by African raiders off the specific location. He's matched by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by true stories. When the concluding moment fails to move you, you're not human.
