The director's sweeping drama stars Vivien Leigh, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the medical officer, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who provide the film with its powerful impact.

15. The Last Voyage (1960)

13. Ocean Stillness (1989)

Two lead actors act as a husband and wife trying to get over the pain of their offspring's demise by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the Pacific, where they recover Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Costly error! This filmmaker's tense movie is basically a slasher movie at in maritime setting, but an ultra-classy one that launched her career.

Naturally, the ship's British skipper and team take the two landlubbers for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the word.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)

The director imparts his suspense story a state-of-the-nation perspective in this nerve-shredding story of bombs positioned on a passenger ship, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris play demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a emotional depiction in tragicomic desperation.

The fictional ship is overturned by a ocean surge, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted vessel to safety. a supporting player is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a useful history of athletic swimming.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The lead actor delivers a late-career exemplary performance in solo performance as a individual fighting to endure in the Indian Ocean after his sailing vessel, the fictional ship, is harmed in a crash with an stray shipping container. It's anxious enough to observe, so it's difficult to comprehend how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to record.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

The lead actor provides excellent performance in among his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the commander of an US merchant vessel hijacked by African raiders off the specific location. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I control this vessel"), delivering a sensational initial cinematic appearance as the criminal boss in this filmmaker's suspense film, derived from true stories. Should the final sequence doesn't bring tears, you have no heart.

7. Triangle (2009)
