You Should Consider a Bigger Boat: The 20 Best Motion Pictures Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Ocean Terror (1998)
This filmmaker's futuristic scarefest chronicles a bunch of attention-grabbing ensemble cast playing soldiers of fortune employed to demolish the passenger vessel the main setting. But a massive sea creature has got there first! Including the endangered passengers are Famke Janssen as a gem smuggler.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A baby, abandoned on the transatlantic liner a fictional ship, matures to be a accomplished musician (the main star) who never steps off the boat. The highlight of Giuseppe Tornatore's imaginative story is Roth competing in a musical showdown with a historical figure, rather unfairly shown as a overconfident individual.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The main star acts as a fighter-inspired nomad with mutated appendages and a souped-up trimaran in this high-cost sci-fi B-movie, set in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the Earth. The entire population is searching for mythical Dryland while resisting Dennis Hopper and his gang of constantly puffing marauders.
17. Titanic (1997)
An extended period of tiresome canoodling between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are rescued by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of a famous well-known tragedies. You have to admire the boldness of a director who successfully transforms a death toll of numerous victims into an heartening tale of emancipation.
16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Peasants, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists mingle on a passenger ship sailing from Mexico to the Old World in the interwar period. The director's epic includes a cinema icon, in her swan song, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a aristocratic rebel, who deliver the motion picture with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The USS Claridon is torn asunder in an blast and the protagonist's spouse (the actress) is trapped in their room in this intense early catastrophe film. Can Stack and a heroic engineer (Woody Strode) rescue her ahead of the ship sinks? Curious detail: the Claridon is played by the famous European vessel Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star mystery writer detective story. The main star, as the Belgian sleuth, fails to stop several passengers being shot, which narrows his suspects to a manageable number. Significantly better than the 2022 remake.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman portray a partners attempting to recover from the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a trip in the ocean, where they recover Billy Zane from a foundering ship. Poor decision! This filmmaker's suspense film is basically a slasher movie at in maritime setting, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An Englishman, transporting items for an US businessman, is tricked into hiring a run-down "type of boat" in the director's brutal Ealing comedy in the rebellious style of his own previous work. Predictably, the boat's British skipper and crew deceive the inexperienced passengers for a journey, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
The director provides his disaster thriller a social commentary angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of detonators placed on a commercial vessel, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris play demolition specialists; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a emotional depiction in humorous tragedy.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This adaptation of this writer's book is part of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the inverted hull to safety. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a useful background of sports participation.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor delivers a late-career exemplary performance in solo performance as a person battling to survive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray shipping container. It's stressful enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The lead actor delivers sterling work in among his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an American cargo ship commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), making a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's thriller, based on actual incidents. When the concluding moment doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
