I like all of those and...

I like "down perisope" with Kelsey Grammer. I always like to see this one. Cracks me up it does! :) :rolleyes::ph34r:

Iron Bess told me an mine about "swashbuckler" with Robert Shaw and James Earl Jones. It just arrived the other day. Seen it once...kinda like cutthroat island (campy, but fun).

The new Peter Pan got me going but classically the Crimson Pirate

Ye've got t'get yersel a copy of Treasure Island, the TNT version from about '91 starring Charlton Heston, Julian Glover, Oliver Reed and Christopher Lee. Best version ever made. Only available on

VHS, but Amazon does carry it.

How about "Muppet Treasure Island"? Just saw it again last night on tv. I think it's cute and really funny too! Love the music as well.

Hmm... can't say much of favorites.. since I haven't see a lot of them. I JUST saw "Long John Silver" the other day on a local TV station... been wanting to see that for many years!

I agree with Hawkyns.. the Charlton Heston "Treasure Island" is the best on thus far! LOVE it! Heston made a FANTASTIC Silver. Disney's "Treasure Island" I still love as well. Robert Newton was so great. I would like to see "Blackbeard the Pirate" sometime. ::knocks on the wood of the Black Pearl:::

LOVE "The Goonies"!! Just great!

"Pirates".. I saw it once, kinda remember it, not much though. But I liked it. "Muppet Treasure Island"... Yeah I watched it the other night as well, Christine. I just laughed at a few spots including when Silver was singing in the galley when we first meet him... ahhhh, brought back memories when at the Chicago get together. :ph34r:

I've seen "The Buccaneer"... Yul Bryner & Charlton Heston - again more Heston involved in pyratical fun - got to love those 2.

Still pirate movie deprived. So.. need to find them & watch them.

But... my favs... be "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl" & "the Goonies".

Harr...

Whilst makin' me way down th' sidewalk yesterd'y, sunny an' clear, I came alongside o' a yard sale. An' thar she were: Treasure Island starrin' Charlton Heston. I took 'er home fer $3 and me family an' I gave it a once over.

T'were a right powerful an' movin' performance an' seemed ta be true ta period, although, with a few small liberties takin' from th' acktual text, but none th' worst fer it. Th' entire Rogue family enjoyed it theroughly an' it lacked not fer action an' excitement a'tall. Why in fact, young Cap'n Kid beseeched me an' missus Rogue ter let 'im stay up past 'is watch in order ta see th' conclusion with th' promise of runnin' off ta brush 'is teef and jump inter 'is bunk jest as soon as t'were over.

He was as good as 'is word.

Yers,

I think mine would be a toss up between

Captain Blood

Treasure Island

and

Captains Courageous

It be a tough call, but since I got one o' them new fangled VCR machines I don't gotta choose wat movie house ta go ta.

I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am.

The new Peter Pan will be out on May 4th... be sure to get "Master and Commander" out on DVD today... not pirates, but a great period piece!! There was a pretty good Disney movie that came out in the early 90's about two kids marooned by pirates... it was called "Shipwrecked" maybe? Anyone remember this movie? I'd be interested in seeing it again to see if it still equals my memories of it . . .just got Crimson Pirate on DVD, HIGHLY RECOMENDED!

Just got the collector's edition of Master and Commander,... it came with an ad for two movies I've never heard of, but they look to have been made in the late 50's-early 60's? They are called "The High Wind in Jamaica" (starring Anthony Quinn as the pirate captain) and "The Pirates of Tortuga"... I'll look for 'em, and let you know, unless someone here has already seen 'em...

"Muppets Treasure Island" is my second favorite all the way ... I also really liked the newest "Peter Pan" to come out (and "Hook" as well) ... and I need to see more pirate movies before I can pick any other favorites!

'The Pirate ' is a old movie with Judy Garland in it. 'Cut Throat Island' has Geena Davis in it. B)

'Rum, rum, rum!'

Rum, rum, rum. I want my rum! If you don't give me it I'll put you in a kilt and make you dance like a irishman! Rum, rum, rum! I want my Rum!

I just rented "The Seahawk" starring Errol Flynn, and the exact same cast, and identical plot to the classic "Robin Hood", right down to the love affair between Alan Hale and the heroine's handmaiden.

Fun film! I give it two bottoms up!

I hope they do more of the same this year.
