You're Gonna Need a More Substantial Ship: 20 Finest Movies Located on the Ocean – In Order!

20. Deep Rising (1998)

The director's sci-fi horror pulp chronicles a bunch of attention-grabbing ensemble cast portraying hired guns employed to demolish the luxury liner Argonautica. Yet a massive sea creature has already arrived! Including the likely victims are Kevin J O'Connor as a diamond criminal.

19. The 1900 Story (1998)

A newborn, left on the transatlantic liner the central location, develops to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who refuses to leave the vessel. The climax of the director's imaginative story is the main character fighting a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly depicted as a smug bastard.

18. Ocean Planet (1995)

The main star portrays a fighter-inspired nomad with aquatic adaptations and a souped-up trimaran in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, taking place in a distant time where disappearing glaciers have flooded the world. The entire population is searching for fabled solid ground while resisting Dennis Hopper and his gang of chain-smoking raiders.

17. Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are redeemed by James Cameron's breathtaking depiction of among history's most infamous catastrophes. One must appreciate the boldness of a director who manages to twist a death toll of 1,500 into an heartening tale of freedom.

16. Ship of Fools (1965)

Commoners, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a passenger ship journeying from Latin America to the Continent in the interwar period. This filmmaker's large-scale film stars a cinema icon, in her last performance, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a political noblewoman, who deliver the motion picture with its powerful impact.

15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an explosion and the protagonist's wife (the actress) is trapped in their quarters in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the hero and a brave technician (the actor) save her before the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the Claridon is played by the legendary European vessel an actual ocean liner.

14. Nile Killing (1978)

Angela Lansbury are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star crime novelist detective story. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent numerous characters being shot, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Nicole Kidman act as a married couple attempting to recover from the pain of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a spin in the sea, where they save Billy Zane from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is essentially a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An Englishman, moving goods for an US businessman, is manipulated into employing a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's harsh UK production in the rebellious style of his own earlier film. Naturally, the boat's Scottish captain and team deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in all senses of the term.

11. Juggernaut (1974)

The director gives his disaster thriller a social commentary perspective in this anxiety-inducing story of detonators planted on a commercial vessel, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors play bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a heartbreaking study in humorous tragedy.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This adaptation of the author's novel is one of the peaks of the era of disaster movies. The central vessel is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the job of the main protagonist to lead his followers through the upturned ship to safety. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy background of athletic swimming.

9. Total Loss (2013)

The main star gives a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a person battling to stay alive in the specific sea after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's anxious enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The main star delivers sterling work in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I control this vessel"), providing a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's tense movie, derived from actual incidents. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)

{Freak weather conditions|
