You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat: 20 Finest Films Taking Place at Sea – Ranked!
20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
Stephen Sommers' sci-fi horror pulp follows a group of attention-grabbing supporting players acting as hired guns hired to demolish the luxury liner Argonautica. Yet a massive sea creature has got there first! Featuring the endangered passengers are Treat Williams as a diamond criminal.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A baby, deserted on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, develops to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who remains aboard the ship. The peak moment of the director's imaginative story is Roth battling a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a smug bastard.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The main star acts as a samurai-like wanderer with aquatic adaptations and a souped-up trimaran in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, set in a future where disappearing glaciers have inundated the planet. The entire population is hunting for mythical Dryland while fighting off Dennis Hopper and his band of continuously smoking raiders.
17. RMS Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by the director's breathtaking depiction of one the 20th century's most infamous tragedies. You have to admire the chutzpah of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a fatalities of over a thousand into an emotionally uplifting story of liberation.
16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Commoners, Spanish performers and political extremists mingle on a ocean liner sailing from North America to Europe in 1933. This filmmaker's sweeping drama features a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who provide the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an blast and Robert Stack's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stuck in their cabin in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Will the hero and a courageous worker (the actor) save her prior to the vessel goes down? Curious detail: the Claridon is embodied by the legendary historic ship an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are part of the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie detective story. The main star, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt half the cast being shot, which reduces his persons of interest to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Two lead actors portray a husband and wife trying to get over the trauma of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the Pacific, where they rescue another actor from a sinking schooner. Costly error! This filmmaker's suspense film is essentially a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An British man, transporting items for an American industrialist, is manipulated into hiring a run-down "type of boat" in this filmmaker's brutal Ealing comedy in the unconventional vein of his own Whisky Galore!. Of course, the boat's UK commander and staff trick the main characters for a trip, in all senses of the word.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
Richard Lester imparts his catastrophe film a social commentary perspective in this anxiety-inducing yarn of explosives planted on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Which wire to cut? David Hemmings play demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of Paul Gallico's book is one of the high points of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is overturned by a ocean surge, and it's the responsibility of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his group through the inverted ship to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a retailer's spouse 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 maritime location after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an errant shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor provides outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the skipper of an commercial transport commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, based on real events. If the concluding moment fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
