A baby, deserted on the ocean-going ship a fictional ship, grows up to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who never steps off the vessel. The climax of this filmmaker's whimsical hokum is Roth fighting a keyboard contest with a jazz legend, somewhat unjustly shown as a smug bastard.

The lead actor acts as a warrior-esque drifter with aquatic adaptations and a enhanced trimaran in this megabudget science fiction adventure, taking place in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the planet.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

Two hours of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an free-spirited artist (the male lead) are redeemed by James Cameron's impressive reconstruction of among history's well-known catastrophes.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)

Peasants, Spanish performers and political extremists interact on a ocean liner sailing from Mexico to the Continent in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's epic features a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its emotional wallop.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an detonation and the lead actor's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their cabin in this gripping proto-disaster pic.

Two legendary actresses are including the killing culprits on board a Nile paddle steamer in this celebrity-filled crime novelist murder mystery.

13. Sea Silence (1989)

Two lead actors portray a married couple seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by sailing their boat for a journey in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a sinking schooner.

Predictably, the vessel's British skipper and crew take the two landlubbers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the expression.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

This filmmaker imparts his suspense story a social commentary perspective in this tension-filled story of explosives placed on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris play explosive technicians; another actor, as the cruise director, provides a touching portrayal in sadly funny despair.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This adaptation of the author's novel is part of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's up to the lead character to guide his group through the flipped vessel to security. a supporting player is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a practical history of competitive swimming.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The lead actor provides a experienced exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a person fighting to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is impaired in a impact with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so heaven knows how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The main star does excellent performance in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the captain of an commercial transport seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I control this vessel"), delivering a outstanding first movie role as the pirate chief in the director's thriller, based on actual incidents. When the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.

7. Geometric Shape (2009)
