16. Vessel of Madness (1965)

Nicole Kidman act as a husband and wife attempting to recover from the trauma of their offspring's demise by taking their yacht for a spin in the Pacific, where they rescue a co-star from a foundering ship.

Two lead actors portray bomb disposal experts; another actor, as the ship's entertainments director, serves up a touching portrayal in humorous tragedy.

This film version of Paul Gallico's novel is among the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The fictional ship is capsized by a ocean surge, and it's up to the lead character to lead his group through the inverted vessel to rescue. the actress is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a practical background of sports participation.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)

The lead actor delivers a late-career exemplary performance in single character portrayal as a man battling to survive in the specific sea after his sailing vessel, the main setting, is harmed in a impact with an stray cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to observe, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the elderly actor to shoot.

8. Ship Commander (2013)

The lead actor provides outstanding acting in among his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure characters, as the skipper of an commercial transport commandeered by Somali pirates off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's tense movie, derived from actual incidents. When the concluding moment fails to move you, you have no heart.

7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
