You Might Want a Bigger Boat: 20 Finest Motion Pictures Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Deep Rising (1998)
The director's science fiction thriller follows a collection of memorable character actors acting as mercenaries employed to sink the luxury liner a fictional ship. But a enormous cephalopod has beaten them to it! Among the potential cephalopod fodder are Treat Williams as a diamond criminal.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A newborn, left on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, develops to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who remains aboard the ship. The highlight of the director's whimsical hokum is the main character competing in a piano duel with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a arrogant character.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The lead actor portrays a fighter-inspired wanderer with webbed feet and a modified sailing vessel in this big-budget science fiction adventure, set in a later era where disappearing glaciers have flooded the planet. Everyone is searching for legendary terra firma while resisting the villain and his gang of continuously smoking pirates.
17. The Titanic (1997)
An extended period of tiresome canoodling between a upper-class woman (Kate Winslet) and an working-class man (Leonardo DiCaprio) are saved by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's well-known catastrophes. It's impossible not to respect the chutzpah of a director who successfully transforms a casualties of numerous victims into an inspiring tale of liberation.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Commoners, Spanish performers and political extremists mingle on a passenger ship journeying from Latin America to the Continent in the interwar period. This filmmaker's large-scale film features a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who deliver the film with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an explosion and Robert Stack's wife (the actress) is trapped in their room in this gripping early catastrophe film. Is it possible for Stack and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) rescue her ahead of the ship sinks? Interesting note: the main setting is represented by the famous European vessel a real ship.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are among the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as Hercule Poirot, cannot prevent several passengers being shot, which whittles down his suspects to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors play a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the sea, where they rescue a co-star from a sinking schooner. Costly error! Phillip Noyce's thriller is fundamentally a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting items for an US businessman, is manipulated into hiring a dilapidated "type of boat" in the director's brutal UK production in the rebellious tradition of his own previous work. Of course, the ship's Scottish captain and staff trick the main characters for a trip, in all senses of the word.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
Richard Lester provides his catastrophe film a political dimension perspective in this tension-filled tale of detonators placed on a passenger ship, the main setting. Which wire to cut? David Hemmings play demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the cruise director, serves up a heartbreaking study in humorous tragedy.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This film version of the author's novel is one of the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the main protagonist to direct his group through the inverted ship to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a retailer's spouse with a useful background of sports participation.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor gives a late-career masterclass in one-man show as a man fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the fictional ship, is impaired in a crash with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star delivers outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the skipper of an American cargo ship hijacked by African raiders off the geographical area. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable first movie role as the criminal boss in Paul Greengrass's thriller, based on real events. If the concluding moment fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
