However a massive sea creature has beaten them to it! Among the endangered passengers are Treat Williams as a jewel thief.
19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A newborn, abandoned on the passenger vessel the central location, develops to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who never steps off the boat. The highlight of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is Roth fighting a keyboard contest with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Waterworld (1995)
Kevin Costner portrays a fighter-inspired nomad with aquatic adaptations and a enhanced trimaran in this high-cost science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have flooded the planet. The entire population is searching for fabled solid ground while resisting Dennis Hopper and his band of constantly puffing marauders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
Two hours of love story development between a posh chick (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (the actor) are rescued by James Cameron's breathtaking depiction of among history's notorious disasters.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Peasants, Spanish performers and German ideologists mingle on a ocean liner sailing from Latin America to the Old World in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama includes a cinema icon, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the motion picture with its dramatic punch.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is ripped apart in an detonation and the protagonist's spouse (the actress) is trapped in their room in this compelling proto-disaster pic. Can the main character and a courageous worker (the supporting player) free her ahead of the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the fictional ship is embodied by the famous European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are including the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled crime novelist whodunit. The lead actor, as Hercule Poirot, cannot prevent half the cast being killed, which reduces his suspects to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the recent version.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Two lead actors act as a husband and wife seeking to heal from the pain of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a journey in the Pacific, where they recover Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Poor decision! This filmmaker's tense movie is basically a killers-on-the-loose story at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that launched her career.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An British man, shipping goods for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into employing a run-down "type of boat" in Alexander Mackendrick's harsh UK production in the unconventional vein of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the boat's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a trip, in all senses of the term.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director provides his catastrophe film a political dimension tilt in this nerve-shredding story of bombs placed on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? Richard Harris act as explosive technicians; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's novel is among the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's up to the main protagonist to direct his flock through the upturned vessel to rescue. the actress is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful experience of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor gives a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a person struggling to stay alive in the specific sea after his yacht, the main setting, is impaired in a collision with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to watch, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does excellent performance in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel commandeered by African raiders off the geographical area. He's matched by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's thriller, derived from actual incidents. When the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
