15. The Last Voyage (1960)

Bette Davis are including the killing culprits on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled mystery writer murder mystery.

Sam Neill play a husband and wife seeking to heal from the grief of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a journey in the Pacific, where they rescue a co-star from a foundering ship.

11. Juggernaut (1974)
Richard Lester provides his suspense story a state-of-the-nation angle in this nerve-shredding story of detonators placed on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. What's the correct choice? David Hemmings play explosive technicians; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a heartbreaking depiction in humorous tragedy.

The fictional ship is overturned by a tsunami, and it's the responsibility of the lead character to guide his flock through the flipped ship to security. a supporting player is memorable as a retailer's spouse with a useful background of sports participation.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The main star gives a experienced exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a person battling to endure in the maritime location after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is damaged in a collision with an stray transport unit. It's stressful enough to watch, so it's difficult to comprehend how extremely demanding it must have been for the senior performer to record.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks delivers excellent performance in one of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by African raiders off the specific location. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a remarkable film debut as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's thriller, based on actual incidents. Should the last scene fails to move you, you're not human.
