The highlight of this filmmaker's imaginative story is Roth battling a musical showdown with Jelly Roll Morton, arguably inaccurately shown as a smug bastard.

17. Titanic (1997)
An extended period of love story development between a wealthy lady (the female lead) and an free-spirited artist (the actor) are saved by this filmmaker's impressive reconstruction of one the 20th century's notorious catastrophes.

16. Vessel of Madness (1965)
Commoners, artistic entertainers and German ideologists interact on a ocean liner sailing from Latin America to Europe in the interwar period. The director's epic stars a legendary actress, in her swan song, as a sad divorcee, but it's Oskar Werner, as the ship's doctor, and Simone Signoret, as a radical countess, who supply the film with its emotional wallop.
15. Ultimate Trip (1960)
The central vessel is ripped apart in an explosion and the protagonist's spouse (the co-star) is trapped in their quarters in this gripping proto-disaster pic. Is it possible for the hero and a heroic engineer (the actor) free her ahead of the ship sinks? Curious detail: the Claridon is played by the famous European vessel an actual ocean liner.

Two legendary actresses are including the homicide possibilities on board a Nile paddle steamer in this ensemble cast Agatha Christie detective story. Peter Ustinov, as the famous detective, fails to stop half the cast being stabbed, which reduces his potential killers to a smaller group. Much more enjoyable than the 2022 remake.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Sam Neill play a husband and wife trying to get over the trauma of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the sea, where they recover Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Poor decision! This filmmaker's thriller is essentially a killers-on-the-loose story at in maritime setting, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.
12. Maggie's Tale (1954)
An Englishman, shipping items for an wealthy entrepreneur, is manipulated into employing a run-down "Scottish vessel" in this filmmaker's dark UK production in the subversive style of his own previous work. Of course, the ship's British skipper and team trick the main characters for a trip, in multiple interpretations of the word.
11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director gives his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation tilt in this nerve-shredding yarn of bombs placed on a luxury liner, the SS Britannic. Red wire or blue wire? David Hemmings act as explosive technicians; another actor, as the vessel's activities coordinator, provides a touching depiction in tragicomic desperation.
10. The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
This cinematic interpretation of Paul Gallico's book is one of the high points of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is flipped over by a tsunami, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the upturned vessel to security. the actress is unforgettable as a small business owner's partner with a handy background of competitive swimming.
9. Everything's Gone (2013)
Robert Redford provides a mature exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a man fighting to endure in the maritime location after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is harmed in a collision with an lost shipping container. 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. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star does excellent performance in one of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the specific location. He has great chemistry by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), providing a outstanding first movie role as the pirate chief in the director's tense movie, derived from real events. When the last scene fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
