You Might Want a Larger Vessel: The 20 Best Movies Located on the Ocean – Listed!
20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
The director's science fiction thriller details a group of memorable supporting players portraying mercenaries employed to sink the luxury liner a fictional ship. Yet a massive sea creature has already arrived! Among the potential cephalopod fodder are Treat Williams as a jewel thief.
19. The Legend of 1900 (1998)
A baby, left on the passenger vessel SS Virginian, develops to be a gifted pianist (the main star) who remains aboard the vessel. The peak moment of the director's whimsical hokum is Roth competing in a musical showdown with a jazz legend, somewhat unjustly shown as a arrogant character.
18. Ocean Planet (1995)
Kevin Costner acts as a fighter-inspired drifter with mutated appendages and a enhanced watercraft in this megabudget sci-fi B-movie, set in a later era where melting polar ice-caps have inundated the Earth. The entire population is searching for fabled solid ground while fighting off the antagonist and his gang of chain-smoking raiders.
17. Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of tiresome canoodling between a upper-class woman (Kate Winslet) and an free-spirited artist (Leonardo DiCaprio) are redeemed by the director's spectacular recreation of one the 20th century's most infamous catastrophes. You have to admire the audacity of a film-maker who artfully converts a casualties of over a thousand into an heartening narrative of emancipation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Working-class people, artistic entertainers and political extremists interact on a commercial vessel sailing from Latin America to the Old World in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's large-scale film stars Vivien Leigh, in her last performance, as a melancholy character, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who provide the movie with its dramatic punch.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The USS Claridon is ripped apart in an explosion and the lead actor's spouse (the co-star) is stuck in their cabin in this intense proto-disaster pic. Is it possible for the hero and a brave technician (the supporting player) free her before the ship sinks? Fun fact: the Claridon is represented by the renowned European vessel Île de France.
14. Death on the Nile (1978)
Bette Davis are part of the murder suspects on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as Hercule Poirot, cannot prevent several passengers being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a manageable number. Bags more fun than the 2022 remake.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Sam Neill portray a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the sea, where they recover a co-star from a sinking schooner. Costly error! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is basically a slasher movie at on the ocean, but an high-quality one that made her famous.
12. The Maggie (1954)
An Englishman, moving goods for an wealthy entrepreneur, is deceived into hiring a dilapidated "Clyde puffer" in the director's brutal British film in the subversive style of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the vessel's UK commander and staff trick the main characters for a journey, in every meaning of the word.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director gives his suspense story a political dimension angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of detonators planted on a commercial vessel, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a heartbreaking portrayal in sadly funny despair.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of this writer's literary work is among the high points of the era of disaster movies. The central vessel is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his followers through the flipped ship to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a practical history of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star gives a late-career exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a man battling to survive in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is impaired in a impact with an lost transport unit. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He's matched by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a sensational first movie role as the raider leader in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by real events. If the final sequence doesn't make you blub, you're not human.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
