14. Murder on the Nile (1978)
Angela Lansbury are part of the murder suspects on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast crime novelist whodunit.

Sam Neill portray a married couple attempting to recover from the pain of their child's passing by sailing their boat for a trip in the ocean, where they rescue another actor from a sinking schooner. Costly error! The director's thriller is basically a slasher movie at sea, but an high-quality one that made her famous.

Richard Lester gives his catastrophe film a state-of-the-nation angle in this tension-filled story of explosives planted on a luxury liner, the main setting. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, serves up a emotional study in sadly funny despair.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's novel is among the peaks of the 1970s disaster genre. The central vessel is overturned by a ocean surge, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his group through the flipped hull to rescue. a supporting player is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a useful history of competitive swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor provides a late-career exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a individual fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a crash with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to shoot.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star delivers sterling work in one of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport hijacked by maritime criminals off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), providing a remarkable first movie role as the pirate chief in the director's suspense film, based on true stories. When the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you're emotionally detached.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
