You Might Want a Bigger Boat: The 20 Best Motion Pictures Located on the Ocean – Listed!
20. Deep Rising (1998)
Stephen Sommers' sci-fi horror pulp follows a group of attention-grabbing ensemble cast portraying mercenaries contracted to demolish the cruise ship the main setting. Yet a massive sea creature has got there first! Including the potential cephalopod fodder are Treat Williams as a diamond criminal.
19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A baby, abandoned on the transatlantic liner the central location, matures to be a talented keyboardist (the main star) who refuses to leave the ship. The peak moment of this filmmaker's imaginative story is the main character fighting a keyboard contest with Jelly Roll Morton, rather unfairly depicted as a smug bastard.
18. Aquatic World (1995)
The lead actor acts as a fighter-inspired nomad with webbed feet and a modified sailing vessel in this high-cost science fiction adventure, located in a future where melting polar ice-caps have flooded the planet. All people is hunting for legendary terra firma while fighting off the villain and his band of continuously smoking pirates.
17. Titanic (1997)
Two hours of tiresome canoodling between a wealthy lady (the actress) and an itinerant yobbo (the male lead) are redeemed by the director's breathtaking depiction of a famous notorious tragedies. It's impossible not to respect the boldness of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a death toll of 1,500 into an emotionally uplifting narrative of emancipation.
16. Boat of Lunatics (1965)
Working-class people, Spanish performers and political extremists interact on a commercial vessel sailing from Mexico to Europe in the pre-war era. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama includes Vivien Leigh, in her final role, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's another actor, as the ship's doctor, and another cast member, as a political noblewoman, who supply the motion picture with its powerful impact.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an blast and the lead actor's partner (the co-star) is stranded in their quarters in this compelling precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the hero and a brave technician (the actor) free her ahead of the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the fictional ship is played by the famous French liner an actual ocean liner.
14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are among the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit. The main star, as the famous detective, is unable to halt numerous characters being shot, which narrows his persons of interest to a limited selection. Bags more fun than the modern adaptation.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Nicole Kidman play a partners seeking to heal from the pain of their child's passing by taking their yacht for a spin in the ocean, where they recover a co-star from a foundering ship. Poor decision! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is essentially a slasher movie at in maritime setting, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.
12. The Maggie Story (1954)
An UK citizen, transporting furniture for an American industrialist, is manipulated into hiring a dilapidated "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's harsh British film in the subversive style of his own Whisky Galore!. Naturally, the ship's British skipper and staff trick the main characters for a journey, in multiple interpretations of the term.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
Richard Lester provides his catastrophe film a political dimension angle in this nerve-shredding yarn of explosives placed on a passenger ship, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? Two lead actors act as explosive technicians; Roy Kinnear, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a touching study in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's literary work is among the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The SS Poseidon is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the flipped ship to rescue. Shelley Winters is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful background of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
Robert Redford provides a late-career brilliant acting in single character portrayal as a individual struggling to stay alive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the fictional ship, is harmed in a collision with an stray transport unit. It's anxious enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the captain of an commercial transport commandeered by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by Barkhad Abdi ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a remarkable film debut as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's tense movie, based on true stories. Should the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
