Captain Jack #1????


Iron Bess

Recommended Posts

Well, Waterworld was #5 and Erik the Viking was #4, so I'm not sure how much stock I'd place in that particular list...

Still POTC:CotBP was a really fun movie. I guess it "plotted a course into our imaginations." (Whatever that means. :rolleyes: )

Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

John: "I don't know."

Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."

You can do everything right, strictly according to procedure, on the ocean, and it'll still kill you. But if you're a good navigator, a least you'll know where you were when you died.......From The Ship Killer by Justin Scott.

Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

At least it wasn't a high-5 to the face.

I'm rather... stunned with the list. It's almost stomach churning. About half those films I saw and the other half I've not seen... and frankly I thought some other film mariners would make better on this list than those named.

Sickening.

But at least PotC was #1 on the list. But Jack? Well.... memorable indeed. I have to hand it to that.

Yes, Captain Ron deserved to be on that list.

Cabin Boy was also sorely missing. ;)

;) Oweeeee.....

You can run, but you can't hide. I'll just follow the scent of tatter tots...... ;)

Oh, yeah, they should have included Captain Ron........"If we get lost, we'll just pull over and ask for directions!"

and buccaneers and buried gold...

I think Poopdeck Pappy's list lines up pretty well with anything that I could come up with, though I think George Clooney in "The Perfect Storm" should get a mention.

And I feel that I, as a rabid Patrick O'Brian fanatic, that I must point out that although Jack Aubrey did eventually reach the rank of Rear Admiral, he was never knighted so he was never known as "Admiral Sir John Aubrey". Trifling and picky, I know, but I'm like that sometimes.

I guess NONE of the Errol Flynn characters matter to them . . .

-Even if they ARE the quintessential film pirate.

Peter Blood (Captain Blood)

Geoffrey Thorpe (Sea Hawks)

Jamie Durie (The Master of Ballantrae)

Brian Hawke (Against All Flags)

(Just to name 4 that are MUCH better movies than some on the list)

Edit: Oh and I am watching The Master of Ballantrae as I type this . . .

what about: (in no particular order)

Capt. Redd - Walter Matheau /Pirates

Spencer Tracey / Old Man and the Sea

Tyrone Power /Black Swan

Long John Silver-Wallace Beery /Treasure Island (1933?)

Horatio Hornblower-Ioan Gruffudd

Charles Steward-Alan Ladd /Two Years Before the Mast

Billy Budd-Terrance Stamp /Billy Budd

Lt Cmdr Phillip Francis Queeg- Humphrey Bogart /Caine Mutiny

Duke of Arnoldo- Douglas Fairbanks /The Black Pirate

Ned Lynch-Robert Shaw /Swashbuckler

I'd even add; Sinbad-Kerwin Mathews /The 7th Voyage of Sinbad

Come on Kevin Costner???? memorable only because it was a horrible movie!!!!

That Black Pirate definitely belongs on such a list. Alas, it's old and careworn, not shiny, colorful and within recent memory.

Oh, and what about The Crimson Pirate? That list needs another overacted opus with garish non-PC outfits... ;)

"Am I not?"

Since Captain Ron was mentioned (which I agree with should be on the list), I thought I would throw some other comical maritime names out there. Not sure if I would add them to the best fo all time list, but I personally still enjoyed the characters.

The Pirate King - Ted Hamilton/The Pirate Movie (I think the bewjewelled cod piece make the outfit)

The Pirate King - Kevin Kline / Pirates of Penzance

Hoops McCann - John Cusack/One Crazy Summer

Captain Bully Hayes - Tommy Lee Jones / Nate and Hayes

Captain Dogg Brown - Frank Langella/Cutthroat Island

Captain Nemo - Naseeruddin Shah / The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

I will also have to agree with Yellowbeard

Captain Justin Kase

Captain of the Dread Pyrate Ship SeaMonkey

Quixotic Pyrate of the Desert Seas

Unfortunately the link page is missing so I cannot read the list. But I would mention Lionel Barrymoore's Captain Disko and Captain Joy, and also Anthony Quinn's Captain Chavez...

and most recently, I'd like to mention a non actor, but real life Captain and hero, Captain Phillips, he would top my list :( ...
