| I really like pirate movies! I was wondering if anyone knows of any good pirate movies I haven't seen yet... Already seen: Pirates (by Roman Polanski) Pirates of the Carribean Pirates of the Carribean II : Dead men's chest Pirates of the Carribean III: At worlds end Blackbeard (the biopic) Blackbeard (the documentary ) Cutthroat Island Yellowbeard (which features most of the Monty Python cast AND Cheech and Chong!) Captain Blood (featuring Errol Flynn and released in 1935) Hook (okay, I know, it's more like a fairytale ) The Goonies (hey, there ARE pirates in it...) these are the ones I can mention without thinking too hard and since it's a sunday I guess i'll leave it at this for the moment...but I'll be updating soon and adding some reviews as well... If you've seen ANY pirate movie that's not on my list, please reply! | |

| Cutthroat Island with Geena Davis. I have seen this movie along time ago and I think it was good The 7th Voyage of Sinbad 1958 there are probably some pirates in it. | |

| Yeah! Gimme more!!! I'm busy collecting for the next International Talk Like A Pirate Day Film Fest next year, so all suggestions are welcome Cutthroat Island is a really nice film, it's quite underestimated though since it didn't get to be a big hit like Pirates of the Carribean...there's solid acting in it and a not too shallow storyline, would really like to see more pirate movies like this one | |

| And yet another addition: Blackie the pirate - IMDbIt's a typical Bud Spencer and Terence Hill flick, meaning lot's of fake looking fighting scenes, bad lipsyncing and obvious stock material to fill in blanks in the movie (like cannonfire). The weird thing about this movie is that Bud Spencer (or Captain Skull) and Terence Hill (or Captain Blackie) are adversaries in this movie. Anyway, it's a really nice movie to watch if you're not in the mood for difficult storylines and just want to see action Haaaaarrrrrrrrrr | |
