Stephen Sommers' science fiction thriller chronicles a collection of attention-grabbing supporting players portraying hired guns contracted to destroy the passenger vessel a fictional ship. But a massive sea creature has already arrived! Featuring the likely victims are Kevin J O'Connor as a jewel thief.

19. The 1900 Story (1998)

A baby, left on the ocean-going ship the central location, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the ship. The peak moment of the director's whimsical hokum is the protagonist fighting a piano duel with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly shown as a smug bastard.

18. Aquatic World (1995)

The lead actor acts as a warrior-esque nomad with webbed feet and a modified watercraft in this big-budget futuristic thriller, located in a distant time where vanishing ice sheets have submerged the Earth. All people is seeking mythical Dryland while fending off Dennis Hopper and his group of chain-smoking pirates.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a posh chick (the actress) and an working-class man (the actor) are redeemed by the director's impressive reconstruction of among history's well-known catastrophes. It's impossible not to respect the chutzpah of a director who successfully transforms a death toll of over a thousand into an emotionally uplifting story of freedom.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)

Peasants, artistic entertainers and political extremists interact on a passenger ship sailing from Mexico to the Continent in the interwar period. The director's large-scale film stars a legendary actress, in her last performance, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the film with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The central vessel is destroyed in an detonation and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is stuck in their cabin in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Can Stack and a brave technician (Woody Strode) rescue her before the boat submerges? Curious detail: the main setting is embodied by the renowned French liner a real ship.

14. Murder on the Nile (1978)

Angela Lansbury are part of the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this all-star crime novelist detective story. The lead actor, as the famous detective, cannot prevent numerous characters being killed, which narrows his potential killers to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Two lead actors play a partners trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a journey in the ocean, where they recover another actor from a damaged vessel. Costly error! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that made her famous.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an American industrialist, is tricked into using a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's brutal British film in the subversive style of his own earlier film. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a trip, in all senses of the term.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

The director imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension angle in this nerve-shredding tale of bombs positioned on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors play bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.

10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)

This film version of the author's novel is part of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the upturned ship to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a useful history of sports participation.

9. All is Lost (2013)

Robert Redford gives a experienced brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a person struggling to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is impaired in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to watch, so one can only imagine how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor provides sterling work in among his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the commander of an commercial transport hijacked by Somali pirates off the specific location. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), delivering a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in the director's thriller, inspired by actual incidents. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're not human.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
