Two legendary actresses are among the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this celebrity-filled crime novelist murder mystery. Peter Ustinov, as the Belgian sleuth, is unable to halt numerous characters being stabbed, which whittles down his persons of interest to a smaller group. Bags more fun than the recent version.
13. Sea Silence (1989)
Two lead actors portray a married couple 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 another actor from a sinking schooner. Costly error! The director's suspense film is essentially a horror film at on the ocean, but an exceptionally well-made one that put Kidman on the map.

11. Unstoppable Force (1974)
The director gives his suspense story a social commentary angle in this tension-filled yarn of explosives placed on a commercial vessel, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris act as demolition specialists; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, delivers a emotional study in humorous tragedy.
10. Ocean Disaster (1972)
This film version of this writer's book is part of the peaks of the seventies catastrophe films. The central vessel is overturned by a tidal wave, and it's up to Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his group through the inverted vessel to rescue. the actress is memorable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy history of athletic swimming.
9. Total Loss (2013)
The main star provides a mature exemplary performance in one-man show as a individual struggling to survive in the specific sea after his yacht, the fictional ship, is impaired in a impact with an lost cargo box. It's anxious enough to view, so one can only imagine how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to film.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides outstanding acting in part of his regular-guys-under-intolerable-pressure performances, as the skipper of an commercial transport seized by African raiders off the geographical area. His performance is complemented by Barkhad Abdi ("I'm the captain now"), making a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on actual incidents. When the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Three-Sided Figure (2009)
