You Should Consider a Bigger Boat: Top 20 Greatest Films Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
Stephen Sommers' science fiction thriller chronicles a collection of memorable supporting players portraying soldiers of fortune employed to destroy the passenger vessel a fictional ship. Yet a giant mutant octopus has beaten them to it! Including the likely victims are Treat Williams as a gem smuggler.
19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A infant, left on the passenger vessel a fictional ship, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who remains aboard the ship. The climax of the director's whimsical hokum is the protagonist battling a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, somewhat unjustly shown as a overconfident individual.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The lead actor acts as a warrior-esque drifter with mutated appendages and a enhanced trimaran in this big-budget futuristic thriller, located in a future where disappearing glaciers have flooded the Earth. Everyone is searching for fabled solid ground while fending off the antagonist and his gang of chain-smoking marauders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are rescued by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's most infamous catastrophes. You have to admire the chutzpah of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a death toll of 1,500 into an inspiring tale of liberation.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Working-class people, flamenco dancers and German ideologists mingle on a commercial vessel traveling from Mexico to Europe in 1933. This filmmaker's large-scale film stars Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an blast and the lead actor's spouse (the actress) is stranded in their room in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Will the main character and a brave technician (the supporting player) rescue her before the ship sinks? Fun fact: the Claridon is embodied by the legendary French liner a real ship.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Two legendary actresses are among the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie detective story. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt half the cast being shot, which reduces his potential killers to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife attempting to recover from the grief of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a trip in the sea, where they save another actor from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! The director's thriller is fundamentally a killers-on-the-loose story at sea, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An Englishman, moving goods for an wealthy entrepreneur, is tricked into hiring a poor condition "Clyde puffer" in the director's brutal Ealing comedy in the subversive vein of his own previous work. Predictably, the ship's UK commander and staff trick the main characters for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the word.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director gives his catastrophe film a state-of-the-nation tilt in this anxiety-inducing yarn of bombs planted on a luxury liner, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris play demolition specialists; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This adaptation of the author's novel is part of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the job of the lead character to direct his group through the inverted vessel to security. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical history of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature brilliant acting in solo performance as a individual battling to endure in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a crash with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
Tom Hanks provides sterling work in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the captain of an US merchant vessel seized by maritime criminals off the specific location. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a sensational film debut as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, based on actual incidents. Should the final sequence fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
