Bette Davis are part of the homicide possibilities on board a Egyptian riverboat in this all-star Agatha Christie whodunit.

13. Sea Silence (1989)
Nicole Kidman portray a partners trying to get over the grief of their son's death by venturing on their vessel for a journey in the ocean, where they save Billy Zane from a sinking schooner.

The central vessel is overturned by a tsunami, and it's up to the main protagonist to guide his group through the flipped ship to rescue.

9. Everything's Gone (2013)
The lead actor delivers a mature masterclass in single character portrayal as a person battling to survive in the specific sea after his personal boat, the fictional ship, is harmed in a collision with an lost shipping container. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so heaven knows how physically gruelling it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.
8. Vessel Leader (2013)
The lead actor does outstanding acting in one of his everyman-in-crisis roles, as the skipper of an US merchant vessel seized by maritime criminals off the Horn of Africa. His performance is complemented by a co-star ("I'm the captain now"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the pirate chief in Paul Greengrass's tense movie, based on real events. When the last scene doesn't make you blub, you're emotionally detached.
7. Triangle (2009)
