The lead actor portrays a samurai-like wanderer with aquatic adaptations and a enhanced watercraft in this big-budget science fiction adventure, located in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the world.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)
An extended period of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (the actor) are saved by James Cameron's breathtaking depiction of a famous well-known catastrophes.

Working-class people, flamenco dancers and political extremists rub shoulders on a ocean liner journeying from North America to the Old World in the pre-war era. This filmmaker's large-scale film includes a cinema icon, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and a talented performer, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the movie with its powerful impact.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors play a husband and wife seeking to heal from the trauma of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a spin in the sea, where they recover a co-star from a sinking schooner. Costly error! The director's thriller is basically a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)

11. Juggernaut (1974)
The director gives his disaster thriller a social commentary perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of explosives positioned on a passenger ship, the fictional ship. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors act as bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the cruise director, serves up a emotional portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Poseidon's Journey (1972)
This film version of Paul Gallico's book is part of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his flock through the inverted hull to safety. the actress is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical history of competitive swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
Robert Redford gives a late-career masterclass in solo performance as a man fighting to endure in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a impact with an lost cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks does sterling work in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel hijacked by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He's matched by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a sensational first movie role as the criminal boss in the director's tense movie, inspired by actual incidents. If the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
