You Might Want a Larger Vessel: Top 20 Greatest Films Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
This filmmaker's sci-fi horror pulp chronicles a collection of scene-stealing character actors portraying soldiers of fortune employed to demolish the luxury liner the main setting. But a massive sea creature has beaten them to it! Among the endangered passengers are Treat Williams as a gem smuggler.
19. The 1900 Story (1998)
A baby, left on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, matures to be a talented keyboardist (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the vessel. The climax of the director's whimsical hokum is Roth battling a piano duel with a jazz legend, arguably inaccurately shown as a arrogant character.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
The lead actor plays a warrior-esque drifter with webbed feet and a enhanced trimaran in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, taking place in a future where disappearing glaciers have flooded the world. Everyone is seeking fabled solid ground while fending off the villain and his group of constantly puffing raiders.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (Kate Winslet) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are rescued by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of among history's most infamous tragedies. One must appreciate the chutzpah of a director who artfully converts a death toll of over a thousand into an emotionally uplifting narrative of freedom.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Peasants, Spanish performers and Nazi eugenicists interact on a ocean liner journeying from Latin America to Europe in 1933. This filmmaker's sweeping drama stars a legendary actress, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and another cast member, as a radical countess, who provide the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an explosion and the lead actor's spouse (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their cabin in this compelling proto-disaster pic. Will the main character and a brave technician (Woody Strode) save her prior to the boat submerges? Curious detail: the main setting is embodied by the famous European vessel a real ship.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are among the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist detective story. The lead actor, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being shot, which reduces his persons of interest to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the modern adaptation.
13. Dead Calm (1989)
Two lead actors play a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their son's death by taking their yacht for a spin in the ocean, where they rescue another actor from a damaged vessel. Poor decision! This filmmaker's thriller is fundamentally a slasher movie at sea, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, moving furniture for an US businessman, is manipulated into using a run-down "type of boat" in Alexander Mackendrick's dark British film in the unconventional style of his own earlier film. Of course, the boat's Scottish captain and crew take the two landlubbers for a ride, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director gives his suspense story a social commentary perspective in this nerve-shredding tale of explosives positioned on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Two lead actors play demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This film version of the author's literary work is part of the zenith of the era of disaster movies. The fictional ship is flipped over by a ocean surge, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his followers through the flipped hull to rescue. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a handy background of sports participation.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The main star delivers a mature brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to survive in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is damaged in a crash with an lost transport unit. It's stressful enough to view, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers excellent performance in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances performances, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the geographical area. He's matched by a co-star ("I control this vessel"), delivering a outstanding first movie role as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, inspired by real events. Should the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
