A infant, left on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who never steps off the ship. The climax of this filmmaker's fantastical tale is Roth competing in a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly shown as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The main star acts as a fighter-inspired nomad with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this high-cost science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where disappearing glaciers have submerged the world. Everyone is hunting for fabled solid ground while fighting off the villain and his band of constantly puffing raiders.
17. Titanic (1997)
An extended period of love story development between a posh chick (the actress) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are saved by the director's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's most infamous catastrophes.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Peasants, Spanish performers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a ocean liner sailing from North America to Europe in 1933. Stanley Kramer's epic includes a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who supply the movie with its dramatic punch.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an blast and Robert Stack's wife (the co-star) is trapped in their quarters in this compelling early catastrophe film. Will the hero and a courageous worker (the supporting player) save her ahead of the boat submerges? Interesting note: the fictional ship is played by the renowned French liner a real ship.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are including the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist murder mystery. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his persons of interest to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Nicole Kidman act as a partners seeking to heal from the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they save another actor from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is basically a horror film at sea, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An Englishman, shipping goods for an US businessman, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's brutal Ealing comedy in the rebellious vein of his own earlier film. Naturally, the ship's Scottish captain and crew trick the main characters for a ride, in multiple interpretations of the word.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
This filmmaker gives his suspense story a social commentary angle in this nerve-shredding story of detonators planted on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Which wire to cut? Richard Harris portray demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a heartbreaking portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of the author's literary work is among the high points of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his followers through the upturned ship to safety. a supporting player is unforgettable as a small business owner's partner with a useful background of sports participation.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor provides a mature masterclass in one-man show as a individual struggling to endure in the specific sea after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's anxious enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to record.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an American cargo ship hijacked by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding first movie role as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, inspired by real events. When the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
