You Might Want a Bigger Boat: The 20 Best Films Located on the Ocean – Ranked!
20. Abyssal Attack (1998)
The director's sci-fi horror pulp chronicles a bunch of scene-stealing ensemble cast acting as hired guns contracted to sink the passenger vessel the main setting. However a enormous cephalopod has got there first! Featuring the endangered passengers are Kevin J O'Connor as a gem smuggler.
19. 1900's Tale (1998)
A baby, abandoned on the passenger vessel the central location, develops to be a talented keyboardist (Tim Roth) who remains aboard the boat. The highlight of the director's imaginative story is Roth fighting a musical showdown with a jazz legend, arguably inaccurately depicted as a smug bastard.
18. Waterworld (1995)
The lead actor portrays a warrior-esque wanderer with webbed feet and a souped-up watercraft in this high-cost futuristic thriller, located in a distant time where melting polar ice-caps have submerged the world. The entire population is hunting for mythical Dryland while fending off Dennis Hopper and his gang of chain-smoking marauders.
17. The Titanic (1997)
A significant portion of love story development between a posh chick (the female lead) and an itinerant yobbo (Leonardo DiCaprio) are rescued by the director's impressive reconstruction of a famous well-known tragedies. You have to admire the chutzpah of a cinematic artist who artfully converts a death toll of 1,500 into an inspiring tale of freedom.
16. Ship of Fools (1965)
Commoners, Spanish performers and German ideologists mingle on a commercial vessel sailing from Mexico to the Continent in 1933. Stanley Kramer's sweeping drama includes a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's Oskar Werner, as the vessel's physician, and a talented performer, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its dramatic punch.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The fictional ship is destroyed in an detonation and Robert Stack's wife (Dorothy Malone) is stranded in their cabin in this gripping precursor to disaster movies. Is it possible for the main character and a brave technician (the actor) save her prior to the vessel goes down? Interesting note: the fictional ship is represented by the legendary European vessel an actual ocean liner.
14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled Agatha Christie whodunit. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, cannot prevent half the cast being killed, which reduces his persons of interest to a limited selection. Much more enjoyable than the 2022 remake.
13. Ocean Stillness (1989)
Two lead actors play a married couple attempting to recover from the grief of their son's death by sailing their boat for a journey in the sea, where they rescue another actor from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! The director's suspense film is fundamentally a horror film at in maritime setting, but an exceptionally well-made one that made her famous.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An Englishman, shipping items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is tricked into using a poor condition "type of boat" in this filmmaker's harsh Ealing comedy in the rebellious vein of his own previous work. Predictably, the boat's UK commander and staff take the two landlubbers for a journey, in multiple interpretations of the word.
11. Overwhelming Power (1974)
This filmmaker provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation tilt in this tension-filled yarn of explosives positioned on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings portray demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a heartbreaking portrayal in tragicomic desperation.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of the author's novel is part of the peaks of the era of disaster movies. The central vessel is flipped over by a tidal wave, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to direct his followers through the inverted hull to security. Shelley Winters is remarkable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy experience of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor delivers a late-career brilliant acting in one-man show as a individual fighting to stay alive in the maritime location after his yacht, the Virginia Jean, is damaged in a collision with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so one can only imagine how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to shoot.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The main star delivers sterling work in among his everyman-in-crisis characters, as the captain of an US merchant vessel hijacked by African raiders off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the raider leader in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, derived from real events. Should the final sequence fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Triangle (2009)
{Freak weather conditions|
