14. Nile Killing (1978)
Bette Davis are among the murder suspects on board a African vessel in this celebrity-filled crime novelist murder mystery.

13. Dead Calm (1989)
Sam Neill act as a married couple trying to get over the trauma of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a spin in the ocean, where they save Billy Zane from a sinking schooner. Big mistake! Phillip Noyce's suspense film is fundamentally a horror film at in maritime setting, but an high-quality one that made her famous.

Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a retailer's spouse with a practical experience of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The lead actor gives a experienced exemplary performance in solo performance as a person fighting to endure in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a impact with an lost cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the senior performer to film.
8. Ship Commander (2013)
Tom Hanks does excellent performance in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel seized by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), providing a sensational first movie role as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's suspense film, derived from real events. When the last scene fails to move you, you're not human.
7. Geometric Shape (2009)
