A baby, left on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, grows up to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the ship. The climax of the director's fantastical tale is the protagonist competing in a musical showdown with a jazz legend, rather unfairly depicted as a smug bastard.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The lead actor acts as a fighter-inspired nomad with webbed feet and a souped-up trimaran in this high-cost futuristic thriller, located in a distant time where disappearing glaciers have submerged the world.

17. The Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of love story development between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an free-spirited artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of a famous well-known disasters.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Commoners, Spanish performers and political extremists interact on a ocean liner traveling from Latin America to Europe in the pre-war era.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an explosion and the lead actor's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is trapped in their quarters in this intense precursor to disaster movies.

Bette Davis are part of the homicide possibilities on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled crime novelist detective story.

Sam Neill portray a partners attempting to recover from the trauma of their child's passing by taking their yacht for a spin in the ocean, where they save Billy Zane from a damaged vessel. Big mistake! The director's tense movie is essentially a killers-on-the-loose story at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that put Kidman on the map.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An British man, shipping furniture for an American industrialist, is manipulated into hiring a dilapidated "type of boat" in this filmmaker's harsh Ealing comedy in the subversive tradition of his own earlier film.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker provides his catastrophe film a state-of-the-nation tilt in this nerve-shredding tale of bombs placed on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors play demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of Paul Gallico's literary work is one of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is capsized by a tsunami, and it's up to the main protagonist to lead his flock through the flipped hull to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a small business owner's partner with a useful background of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor gives a experienced brilliant acting in one-man show as a man fighting to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a impact with an stray cargo box. It's stressful enough to view, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The main star delivers excellent performance in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's suspense film, derived from actual incidents. If the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
