Commoners, flamenco dancers and political extremists rub shoulders on a commercial vessel sailing from Latin America to Europe in the interwar period. Stanley Kramer's epic stars a cinema icon, in her final role, as a sad divorcee, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who provide the motion picture with its emotional wallop.
15. Final Journey (1960)
The fictional ship is torn asunder in an explosion and Robert Stack's wife (the co-star) is stranded in their cabin in this intense proto-disaster pic. Can the main character and a heroic engineer (the supporting player) save her before the boat submerges? Fun fact: the main setting is embodied by the legendary French liner a real ship.

Two legendary actresses are among the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled mystery writer whodunit.

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors act as a partners attempting to recover from the pain of their son's death by sailing their boat for a spin in the Pacific, where they recover another actor from a foundering ship.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director imparts his catastrophe film a social commentary perspective in this nerve-shredding story of explosives placed on a commercial vessel, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Richard Harris play bomb disposal experts; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a touching portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This adaptation of Paul Gallico's literary work is among the zenith of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is capsized by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to guide his followers through the inverted hull to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a useful experience of sports participation.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature masterclass in one-man show as a man battling to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the main setting, is harmed in a impact with an lost shipping container. It's stressful enough to view, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
Tom Hanks provides sterling work in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an US merchant vessel commandeered by maritime criminals off the geographical area. He's matched by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), making a remarkable initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in the director's tense movie, derived from true stories. When the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
