However a massive sea creature has beaten them to it! Among the potential cephalopod fodder are Famke Janssen as a jewel thief.

19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)

A baby, left on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, grows up to be a accomplished musician (Tim Roth) who never steps off the boat. The peak moment of the director's fantastical tale is the protagonist fighting a musical showdown with a historical figure, somewhat unjustly portrayed as a smug bastard.

18. Ocean Planet (1995)

The main star acts as a warrior-esque wanderer with mutated appendages and a modified sailing vessel in this high-cost futuristic thriller, located in a future where vanishing ice sheets have flooded the world. All people is searching for legendary terra firma while fighting off Dennis Hopper and his gang of chain-smoking raiders.

17. RMS Titanic (1997)

A significant portion of romantic interludes between a upper-class woman (the actress) and an working-class man (the male lead) are saved by this filmmaker's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's most infamous disasters. One must appreciate the chutzpah of a film-maker who successfully transforms a death toll of over a thousand into an inspiring narrative of emancipation.

16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)

Peasants, flamenco dancers and German ideologists rub shoulders on a commercial vessel journeying from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. This filmmaker's large-scale film includes a cinema icon, in her last performance, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a aristocratic rebel, who supply the motion picture with its emotional wallop.

15. Final Journey (1960)

The central vessel is destroyed in an explosion and the lead actor's wife (the co-star) is stuck in their room in this gripping early catastrophe film. Is it possible for Stack and a courageous worker (Woody Strode) save her ahead of the vessel goes down? Fun fact: the main setting is played by the famous historic ship Île de France.

14. Death on the Nile (1978)

Two legendary actresses are part of the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt several passengers being killed, which reduces his suspects to a limited selection. Bags more fun than the recent version.

13. Dead Calm (1989)

Two lead actors play a married couple seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by taking their yacht for a trip in the ocean, where they rescue a co-star from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! Phillip Noyce's tense movie is basically a horror film at on the ocean, but an ultra-classy one that put Kidman on the map.

12. The Maggie (1954)

An Englishman, shipping furniture for an US businessman, is tricked into using a dilapidated "type of boat" in this filmmaker's brutal UK production in the unconventional style of his own previous work. Predictably, the boat's British skipper and staff take the two landlubbers for a ride, in every meaning of the word.

11. Overwhelming Power (1974)

This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a political dimension perspective in this nerve-shredding tale of explosives planted on a commercial vessel, the main setting. What's the correct choice? David Hemmings act as demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the cruise director, delivers a emotional study in sadly funny despair.

10. Ocean Disaster (1972)

This film version of Paul Gallico's novel is part of the high points of the era of disaster movies. The SS Poseidon is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to direct his followers through the upturned vessel to rescue. a supporting player is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a practical experience of competitive swimming.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The main star delivers a experienced exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual struggling to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a collision with an errant 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 film.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

Tom Hanks provides excellent performance in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure roles, as the captain of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a sensational film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's tense movie, based on true stories. If the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
