You Should Consider a Bigger Boat: 20 Finest Films Taking Place at Sea – Ranked!
20. Deep Rising (1998)
The director's futuristic scarefest details a collection of attention-grabbing character actors acting as mercenaries hired to destroy the passenger vessel the main setting. However a massive sea creature has got there first! Among the likely victims are Kevin J O'Connor as a gem smuggler.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A infant, deserted on the transatlantic liner SS Virginian, grows up to be a talented keyboardist (the lead actor) who remains aboard the vessel. The climax of Giuseppe Tornatore's whimsical hokum is the protagonist battling a piano duel with a historical figure, arguably inaccurately portrayed as a arrogant character.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
Kevin Costner acts as a samurai-like nomad with webbed feet and a modified watercraft in this big-budget futuristic thriller, set in a future where vanishing ice sheets have inundated the planet. All people 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 (the male lead) are redeemed by the director's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's notorious catastrophes. It's impossible not to respect the audacity of a film-maker who manages to twist a death toll of 1,500 into an inspiring narrative of freedom.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and Nazi eugenicists rub shoulders on a ocean liner journeying from Mexico to the Old World in 1933. This filmmaker's large-scale film features a legendary actress, in her final role, as a melancholy character, but it's another actor, as the medical officer, and another cast member, as a aristocratic rebel, who deliver the movie with its emotional wallop.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an detonation and Robert Stack's partner (the co-star) is stuck in their room in this intense precursor to disaster movies. Can Stack and a brave technician (the supporting player) rescue her prior to the boat submerges? Curious detail: the main setting is played by the famous European vessel a real ship.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Two legendary actresses are part of the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled mystery writer whodunit. The main star, as Hercule Poirot, fails to stop numerous characters being killed, which narrows his persons of interest to a smaller group. Significantly better than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman play a married couple attempting to recover from the pain of their offspring's demise by sailing their boat for a trip in the ocean, where they recover a co-star from a sinking schooner. Costly error! The director's suspense film is essentially a horror film at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, shipping items for an American industrialist, is manipulated into hiring a dilapidated "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's harsh UK production in the unconventional vein of his own previous work. Predictably, the boat's Scottish captain and team deceive the inexperienced passengers for a ride, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Juggernaut (1974)
The director gives his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this nerve-shredding tale of bombs positioned on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Which wire to cut? Two lead actors act as explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, delivers a emotional portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of Paul Gallico's book is among the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the responsibility of the main protagonist to lead his followers through the flipped ship to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a small business owner's partner with a handy background of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford delivers a late-career brilliant acting in solo performance as a person battling to stay alive in the specific sea after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's stressful enough to view, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star does outstanding acting in part of his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the captain of an US merchant vessel hijacked by African raiders off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's thriller, based on true stories. Should the last scene fails to move you, you have no heart.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
