I would rather have my head held underwater than watch ''Zorba the Greek" the worst ham over acting ever. 

 

Bombolini in Secret of Santa Vittoria was even better!  

[Z'Loth]

Speed 2: Cruise Control? No, just no...

[shipgeeks]

"Peeper", 1965, with Michael Caine and Natalie Wood.  Set on NCL's Starward.

[TheOldBear]

For something truly silly, how about "Death on the Tyne" ? [IMDB link https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8746310/ ]

It's set on an overnight ferry, not a cruise ship, but it does include dress codes, the Captain's table -- and a few murders.

"The Lady Eve", 1941, with Barbara Stanwyck and Henry Fonda.

In this one I wish his wife would have brained him with that rolling pin.

Jaws, The Perfect Storm or The Deep.😉

You can always binge watch "The Love Boat."

The Deep

I was just about to hit my teenage years when The Deep came out. Great movie, and we’ll leave it at that.

Not a new ship - but a unique ship, the Queen Mary 2 🙂

I know that the question was about movies but I have no advices about "cruisemovies" so I will say, watch cruise documentaries.

 

I really love programs about cruiseships.

A Voyage to Terror as well as The Hijacking of Achille Lauro

 

The Final Voyage

 

Captain Phillips

 

Deep Rising, if you like schlock.

Titanic. Duh. 

Double Feature - Titanic followed by The Poseidon Adventure, then a documentary on the Costa  Concordia so you'll take the muster drill seriously.

14 years old for me and Jacqueline Bisset made it a mighty fine movie. 

[Blondilu]

Juggernaut.  Disgruntled ex employee builds bombs, plants them on a liner traveling transatlantic, offering the key to disarmament in exchange for a lot of money.  Special task force sent in to disarm.  Drama ensues.  Playboy captain, hard working cruise director.  Mother of 2 traveling alone from London to New York.  Or is it the other way around?  And guess who is the guy in charge of negotiations and attempts at saving the ship.  Her husband.  Of course.

 

Anthony Hopkins, Omar Shariff, Richard Harris and a whole bunch of other great actors.

Like Father  with Kristen Bell and Kelsey Grammer  watched it on Netflix 

[Tan1415]

The movie for me is deep rising. When I see people on formal nights I am always expecting a sea monster. To eat everybody up as jello.

You will brick it if some one brings out a giant cake.

The Sea Ghost-1931

I was not yet a teenager

[MCC retired]

Yup , the Cruise Lines are trying to get rid of those pesky seniors with all of the time and $$$ to cruise.

Get real!
