16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)

Peasants, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a ocean liner traveling from Latin America to Europe in 1933. Stanley Kramer's large-scale film stars Vivien Leigh, in her last performance, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the movie with its dramatic punch.

15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

The fictional ship is destroyed in an explosion and Robert Stack's partner (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their quarters in this compelling early catastrophe film. Can the main character and a brave technician (the supporting player) free her ahead of the ship sinks?

14. Murder on the Nile (1978)

Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being shot, which whittles down his suspects to a limited selection. Significantly better than the recent version.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Sam Neill portray a partners seeking to heal from the grief of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a journey in the ocean, where they rescue a co-star from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is essentially a slasher movie at in maritime setting, but an exceptionally well-made one that made her famous.

12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

An UK citizen, shipping furniture for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into employing a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in Alexander Mackendrick's brutal British film in the rebellious tradition of his own earlier film. Of course, the ship's British skipper and crew take the two landlubbers for a journey, in all senses of the term.

11. Juggernaut (1974)

This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a social commentary tilt in this nerve-shredding story of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings act as explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a heartbreaking portrayal in tragicomic desperation.

10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)

This film version of Paul Gallico's book is one of the zenith of the era of disaster movies. The central vessel is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his group through the flipped hull to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a handy history of athletic swimming.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)

The lead actor provides a late-career brilliant acting in solo performance as a man struggling to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a impact with an stray cargo box. It's anxious enough to watch, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

Tom Hanks provides excellent performance in part of his everyman-in-crisis performances, as the commander of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the specific location. He's matched by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on actual incidents. When the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.

7. Triangle (2009)
