15. Final Journey (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an explosion and Robert Stack's spouse (the co-star) is trapped in their quarters in this intense early catastrophe film. Will the main character and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) free her ahead of the boat submerges? Fun fact: the main setting is represented by the renowned European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled mystery writer detective story. The main star, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop half the cast being stabbed, which whittles down his suspects to a manageable number. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill act as a partners seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a spin in the Pacific, where they rescue a co-star from a damaged vessel. Poor decision!

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation tilt in this tension-filled tale of bombs positioned on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris act as demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a touching portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's literary work is among the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's the job of the main protagonist to direct his group through the flipped vessel to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful background of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford gives a experienced masterclass in one-man show as a man struggling to survive in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is damaged in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The lead actor provides excellent performance in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the skipper of an American cargo ship seized by African raiders off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("I control this vessel"), delivering a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in the director's tense movie, inspired by real events. Should the last scene doesn't bring tears, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
