Pretty old film and i only remember a fraction of the story..
Its about a large group of people living on an sunken ship and has done so for a long time. I belive they grew their own food and stuff..
I saw it as a kid so its perhaps 20 years old or more.
Anyone?
-
It was the sequel to Posieden ... Something like "Return to Posieden"
-
could be.. nothing comes up on google under that name, but it sounds like something that can be related to the Poseidon movie, or just a movie trying to ride that wave.
-
could be "Beyond the Poseidon Adventure"
-edit- lol sorry.. nope thats not it.
-
This one maybe?

I realize its been almost 30 years since that movie came out (1979) but I dont remember anything about people living in it, and I thought it was still floating when they went "back". This one was about treasure hunting IIRC.
-
I remember this one... The name of the movie was the name of the ship, and it was something like "Colossus" or ...
-
Nope not that one im afraid. As far as i can remember the ship was lying on the bottom of the sea and had done so for a very long time. Kids had even been born there i belive. By the time the movie started they either had to get out before it rusted, or someone found them.
I remeber it as beeing rather scary.
Wait a second... I belive it came in a few episodes and was sent on TV, so maybe not a movie but a series.

"Swiss Family Robinson." Great movie. Those were the days.
However, the book was better.

Yeppers the Book was Better!!!
Just like reading the "Lord of the Rings" The book is always better.
But I regress, I had always hoped, as a young Lad, that PlayBoy would have came out in "Braille and Scratch and Sniff" *sigh*

Synopsis
"1939. Its 3 days after war is declared on England. Out in the Atlantic, the new superliner, Goliath, steams towards America with 1,860 passengers aboard. Suddenly, a U-boat torpedo hits her port side. The ship sinks quickly with all hands presumed lost.
1981. Onboard a research ship, led by scientist Peter Cabot (Mark Harmon) the sonar picks up something very large below. The divers descend and find it to be the long lost Goliath. As Cabot swims along the side, he starts to hear tapping, coming from inside, accompanied by music. Just when it couldn't get weirder, a port hole opens and a beautiful young girl peers out!
Admiral Wiley Sloan (Eddie Albert) doesn't buy Cabot's story, but sets up a joint British/American expedition to the ship, in hopes of finding and destroying top secret papers, on its way to President Roosevelt in 1939.
When the team goes in through the torpedo hole, they see light above! Upon breaching the surface, they discover that 337 survivors and descendents have lived for over 40 years in an air bubble utopian existence!
The group is ruled by the mysterious Mr McKenzie, who may have other plans when the outsiders tell them the plan to rescue them from Goliath.
Filmed all over the Queen Mary, in Long Beach, California, and utilizing footage from "Gentleman Prefer Blondes"&"The Last Voyage" this movie was shown in 2 parts, as part of ABC's Operation Prime Time on November 16 &17th, 1981. The movie has been released on VHS and Laserdisc in a shabby 110 minute version, as opposed to its original 3 hour running time.
This movie is a must for ocean liner enthusiasts, and action movie lovers! Try to find the original version."

Maybe the plants they grew?
Maybe Mc Gyver went down with them?
Chuck Norris beat some sense into the CO2 and converted it to oxygen?
electrolysis?

As I recall, Mr McKenzie was some kind of engineer, and rigged up all kinds of stuff so they could survive. That's how he got to be the head honcho of the ship.
