A selection of talassophobic movies.
Thalassophobia is the fear of deep bodies of water such as oceans, lakes, rivers or even pools. That phobia includes just being in deep bodies of water, the fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, being trapped underwater, or aquatic creatures lurking below in murky waters.
In general it is not the fear of the ocean itself even but the vastness and emptiness of it and how small we are compared to what might be in it, which can include the fear of man-made objects or just giant things unter water in related sub-phobias.
In other words, this list consists of movies with a deep-sea horror vibe or maritime movies with a strong emphasize on isolation and survival under or above water that might trigger thalassophobia.
No genertic aquatic creature features, martime movies, submarine movies or movies with a sinking ship included that otherwise are not ocean centric. Also no shorts and documentaries.
Though not all movies set in the ocean or another body of water trigger thalassophobia. For example phobics have no problem watching "Avatar 2" (mainly because of all the clean water).

The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list serves as a companion to the They Shoot Pictures, Don't They? 1,000 Greatest Films of all time list which, - by its nature - tends to have very few films from the 21st century in it. The 21st Century's Most Acclaimed Films list attempts to highlight and honour this century's most critically revered films and act as a sort of 'resting bay' for many great films that are likely to be included in the 1,000 Greatest Films list sooner or later.
