This filmmaker's large-scale film features a cinema icon, in her last performance, as a unhappy separated woman, but it's a co-star, as the medical officer, and a talented performer, as a political noblewoman, who provide the film with its powerful impact.

This filmmaker imparts his disaster thriller a state-of-the-nation perspective in this anxiety-inducing tale of bombs planted on a commercial vessel, the main setting. What's the correct choice? Richard Harris play bomb disposal experts; a supporting player, as the ship's entertainments director, provides a touching depiction in sadly funny despair.

The SS Poseidon is capsized by a tidal wave, and it's the job of Reverend Gene Hackman to lead his flock through the upturned vessel to security. a supporting player is memorable as a small business owner's partner with a useful history of sports participation.

9. All is Lost (2013)

The main star delivers a experienced brilliant acting in solo performance as a individual struggling to survive in the Indian Ocean after his yacht, the main setting, is impaired in a impact with an errant cargo box. It's nerve-wracking enough to view, so it's difficult to comprehend how exceptionally strenuous it must have been for the 76-year-old star to record.

8. Vessel Leader (2013)

The main star provides outstanding acting in one of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances characters, as the captain of an commercial transport hijacked by Somali pirates off the Horn of Africa. He has great chemistry by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a outstanding film debut as the raider leader in this filmmaker's suspense film, inspired by actual incidents. If the final sequence fails to move you, you're emotionally detached.
