Captain Blood

― s1utsky (slutsky), Monday, 16 June 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

C: Muppet's Treasure Island! Tim Curry does the rock with a wooden leg.
D: Swashbuckler, featuring the Seven Up guy, James Earle Jones and a freaky Marquee still manages to blow me timbers..

Cabin Boy. Make what you will.

S: Yellowbeard, if only for the David Bowie cameo.

I like pirates, but I can't think of one good pirate movie.

― NA. (Nick A.), Monday, 16 June 2003 18:12 (twenty-two years ago)

Goonies!

― fletrejet, Monday, 16 June 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)

OK, that's one.

There are lots of great B&W pirate movies, but most of the ones of the last 30 years have been pretty bad. Polanski's one was fairly crappy despite Walter Matthau.
The last version of The Count of Monte Cristo was pretty good (has pirates in it and I really really liked it the first time, not so much the second though) as long as you meet it on its own terms and don't expect anything to resemble the book too much.

Ditto Captain Blood... also The Sea Hawk.
The Crimson Pirate (with Burt Lancaster, a former acrobat, doing his own stunts!)
The Black Swan was also pretty good.

Pirate movies always had the best titles.

Search: Against All Flags

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Monday, 16 June 2003 19:10 (twenty-two years ago)

God I love that picture.

― Aaron W (Aaron W), Monday, 16 June 2003 19:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Against All Flags, that's a great title. Tell me more about it Chris.

Errol Flynn is a British officer that goes undercover to investigate pirates in Madagascar. Maureen O'Hara is a pirate captain. You do the math...

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Monday, 16 June 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Maureen O'Hara the redhead? As a pirate? I'm feeling dizzy...

It was an old Royal Navy trick to fend off scurvy.

Why is Mother Angelica dressed as a pirate???

― rosemary (rosemary), Monday, 16 June 2003 20:37 (twenty-two years ago)

― cuspidorian (cuspidorian), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 07:03 (twenty-two years ago)

isn't "High Wind To Jamaica" meant to be good? creepy children, sexual violence, it's all there!

― DV (dirtyvicar), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 08:58 (twenty-two years ago)

― Sam (chirombo), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

― Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 09:31 (twenty-two years ago)

(& pirate treasure)
(would that have read better as "booty"?)

― Ess Kay (esskay), Tuesday, 17 June 2003 09:48 (twenty-two years ago)

For sky pirates, see Hayao Miyazaki's excellent Crimson Pig.

My head must be on backwards: The Princess Bride!

― amateurist (amateurist), Friday, 11 July 2003 19:28 (twenty-two years ago)

or kristy mcnichol and christophers atkins in the pirate movie?

― James Blount (James Blount), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:26 (twenty-two years ago)

I saw this for my birthday one year and loved it. Perhaps it explains my pirate obsession.

― Nicole (Nicole), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:29 (twenty-two years ago)

Have we forgot Robert Urich and the HOTTT Mary Crosby (the same Mary Crosby who shot JR) in Ice Pirates???

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes we have.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

:-P

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I realize it was the ultimate cable double bill in 1984 with Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn and all, but still...

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 11 July 2003 20:48 (twenty-two years ago)

For some reason, as a kid, I loved this movie. I think it was also somehow linked to my sexual awakening. And then Urich went on to do Spenser: For Hire!

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Friday, 11 July 2003 21:10 (twenty-two years ago)
