19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A baby, deserted on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, develops to be a gifted pianist (the main star) who refuses to leave the boat. The climax of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is Roth competing in a musical showdown with a historical figure, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a smug bastard.

15. Final Journey (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an blast and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is stuck in their cabin in this intense proto-disaster pic.

Two legendary actresses are including the homicide possibilities on board a Nile paddle steamer in this all-star crime novelist detective story.

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill play a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a spin in the sea, where they save Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's thriller is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, moving items for an US businessman, is deceived into using a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in the director's brutal Ealing comedy in the rebellious style of his own earlier film.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
Richard Lester provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation perspective in this anxiety-inducing yarn of explosives planted on a passenger ship, the main setting. Which wire to cut? Richard Harris act as explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a touching depiction in tragicomic desperation.

This cinematic interpretation of the author's literary work is part of the peaks of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his group through the flipped ship to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful history of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford provides a experienced exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a man fighting to survive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the main setting, is damaged in a impact with an errant transport unit. It's anxious enough to view, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star delivers sterling work in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a sensational first movie role as the raider leader in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by true stories. When the final sequence fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
