17. RMS Titanic (1997)
Two hours of love story development between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an working-class man (the actor) are saved by this filmmaker's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious catastrophes.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and German ideologists interact on a commercial vessel journeying from Mexico to Europe in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama features Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a melancholy character, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a aristocratic rebel, who provide the film with its powerful impact.
15. The Last Voyage (1960)
The central vessel is torn asunder in an blast and the lead actor's spouse (the actress) is stuck in their quarters in this compelling precursor to disaster movies. Can the hero and a brave technician (the supporting player) save her ahead of the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the Claridon is played by the famous historic ship Île de France.

Bette Davis are including the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star Agatha Christie detective story. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, cannot prevent several passengers being killed, which whittles down his persons of interest to a manageable number. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors play a married couple seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a spin in the sea, where they save a co-star from a damaged vessel. Costly error!

Naturally, the boat's Scottish captain and team take the two landlubbers for a trip, in all senses of the word.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
Richard Lester imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension tilt in this tension-filled yarn of detonators planted on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors play bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, delivers a emotional depiction in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's literary work is among the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his group through the flipped ship to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical experience of sports participation.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature brilliant acting in solo performance as a man fighting to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a impact with an lost cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star does sterling work in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an American cargo ship hijacked by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by Barkhad Abdi ("I control this vessel"), delivering a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in the director's suspense film, inspired by real events. When the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
