More than a decade ago, this was the canonical pirate video for the English speaking Internet:
Lazy Town | You Are A Pirate Music Video
Enjoy 🙂
Ice Pirates
Yellowbeard a close second!
The Curse of the Black Pearl, and it’s not particularly close.
I feel like the second and third movies are underrated. Perhaps not as tightly scripted as the first, but if you watch them back to back it’s a fun ride.
And Keith Richards plays Jack Sparrow’s dad in the third film.
Agreed. I don’t really like the second, but the third is a very good ending for a trilogy that had no right to be as good as it is. I especially love how all the characters have these different changing motivations and how that shapes the plot.
The first is just perfect, though, not even close
I’m with you, too. It was super good in theaters (get off my lawn).
It’s a movie that I saw, enjoyed, and mostly wrote off when it came out. But here we are 20+ years later and I’m still rewatching it every few years. It is still just over-the-top over-acted ridiculous silly fun.
Very well-paced and quotable. Main characters (Knightley and Bloom) were unremarkable, but the side characters (Depp and especially Rush) put in excellent performances into very silly roles.
It’s not The Godfather, but it’s not trying to be. It is pretty perfect at everything it did try to be.
Does The Goonies count?
I don’t know if it’s the greatest, but Ice Pirates is too often overlooked.
This fucking movie has stuck with me for decades. It is so stupid and hilarious.
Princess Bride
Meh, great movie, and yes there’s pirates, but I wouldn’t consider it pirate-themed personally
Yeah, I suppose it’s not the most heavily themed pirate movie
I mean, the main character, Westley, is literally The Dread Pirate Roberts. And there’s swashbuckling, sailing, and a ragtag group of outlaws who come together despite all odds to fight the crown and take it’s treasure (Buttercup).
That’s a pirate movie.
I’m not taking away from your very valid points, but I feel like a pirate adventure has to spend a majority of its time
at seaon ships and The Princess Bride does not.It does, however, make an excellent Land Pirate movie.
Pirates II: Stagnetti’s Revenge is unironically a really fun watch. Evan Stone is hilarious in it.
They made an R-rated cut with the sex scenes edited out and it’s surprisingly watchable (in a low budget campy way)
Hook 👏👏👏
Butt Pirates of the Caribbean
Planet of the Apes
Disney’s 1950 Treasure Island - yes Depp’s Jack Sparrow is great, but the pirate performance par excellence is Robert Newton’s Long John Silver, imo
