11. Juggernaut (1974)
Richard Lester provides his disaster thriller a political dimension tilt in this anxiety-inducing yarn of bombs placed on a luxury liner, the fictional ship. What's the correct choice?

The fictional ship is overturned by a ocean surge, and it's up to the main protagonist to direct his group through the upturned ship to safety. Shelley Winters is unforgettable as a shopkeeper's wife with a handy history of athletic swimming.
9. All is Lost (2013)
The lead actor gives a late-career brilliant acting in solo performance as a person fighting to stay alive in the maritime location after his personal boat, the Virginia Jean, is impaired in a collision with an lost cargo box. It's anxious enough to view, so heaven knows how extremely demanding it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Captain Phillips (2013)
The main star provides sterling work in among his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the commander of an US merchant vessel commandeered by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by another actor ("I'm the captain now"), making a remarkable film debut as the raider leader in the director's tense movie, based on true stories. Should the concluding moment fails to move you, you're not human.
