Angela Lansbury are part of the homicide possibilities on board a African vessel in this all-star Agatha Christie detective story.

Nicole Kidman portray a husband and wife seeking to heal from the grief of their son's death by sailing their boat for a spin in the Pacific, where they recover Billy Zane from a sinking schooner.

8. Captain Phillips (2013)

Tom Hanks does excellent performance in part of his ordinary-person-in-extraordinary-circumstances roles, as the skipper of an commercial transport hijacked by African raiders off the specific location. He's matched by a co-star ("Now I'm in charge"), delivering a outstanding first movie role as the pirate chief in this filmmaker's tense movie, based on true stories. When the last scene doesn't make you blub, you have no heart.
