19. 1900's Tale (1998)

A baby, abandoned on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, matures to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who remains aboard the ship.

Peasants, flamenco dancers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a commercial vessel sailing from North America to the Continent in the pre-war era.

Two legendary actresses are among the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled mystery writer whodunit.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Two lead actors act as a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a trip in the ocean, where they rescue a co-star from a sinking schooner.

11. Juggernaut (1974)

Richard Lester imparts his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this anxiety-inducing yarn of explosives planted on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? Richard Harris play explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.

This film version of the author's book is among the zenith of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his followers through the inverted hull to rescue. the actress is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a handy background of athletic swimming.

9. Total Loss (2013)

Robert Redford delivers a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a man struggling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is damaged in a impact with an stray shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to record.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The lead actor delivers outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport commandeered by African raiders off the specific location. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a remarkable film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's tense movie, based on real events. If the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.

7. Geometric Shape (2009)
