HarborMaster Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 I know he is not a pirate., And he has an "English Accent" without pretending...,but his Nautical accomplishments are truly staggering even to today. He could navigate !!!! Captain Bligh., Anthony Hopkins., The Bounty I am not Lost .,I am Exploring.

Mission Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Captain Jack - Bugs Bunny combined with Pepe LePew and Calico Jack? They couldn't have created a better amalgam of movie silliness for a pirate captain character if they'd asked me to design one. (Many of my favorite movies borrow from the old WB cartoons.) 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." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Captain Jack Sparrow, of course ... however ... My second-favorite would most likely be Tim Curry as Long John Silver in Muppet Treasure Island. It's a hilarious Muppet-ish movie, but Tim Curry and the boy who played Jim Hawkins really gave the movie its heart. And I adore Tim anyway; his over-the-top acting is wonderful no matter what he's in. My favorite historical pirate is always going to be Anne Bonny, who I had a fascination with long before I decided that pirates were cool in general anyway. :) "Pirates ... were of that old breed of rover whose port lay always a little farther on, a little beyond the skyline ... if they lived riotously let it be urged in their favor that at least they lived." ~ John Masefield Those who live by the sword, get shot instead.

John_Young Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 While I was entertained by Jack Sparrow and the other pirates from PotC, I can not forgive them... My favorite movie pirate is Morgan from Cutthroat Island followed closely by the Dread Pirate Roberts. Favorite future pirates are Robert Urich from Ice Pirates and... of course, Han Solo. Favorite fictional pirate would have to be Captain Jeremiah Berek from AEG's 7th Sea rpg. "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..."

TortugaWench Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Hmm, while Jack Sparrow (From PotC), Morgan (from CutThroat Island) and Long John Silver (From Treasure Island) are ALL good choices, I'd have to say that Cotton (and his Parrot, from PotC) were the most entertaining. And though he can't be classified as a 'pirate', Kurt Russell as 'Captain Ron' is most likely my favorite Captain! :) Tor†uga Wënch™ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar Addams Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Well its gotta be a toss up-- either Burt Lancaster in the Crimson Pirate --or Peter Ustinov as Blackbeard's Ghost.

tishsparrow Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 "it turned inside out... and then it exploded", anyhoo, my favorite movie pirates are: Jack Sparrow, Long John Silver (Tim Curry), Pintel, and Ragetti (the last two are those funny guys from potc. Ragetti is the one with the eye) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Charlotte Savvy Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Darned tootin!Capn' Taggart is the man! Personally, I've never been able to choose between Alexander ("How did I come to this? I used to be an actor once, dammit, now look at me, LOOK AT ME!!!"), Fred ("Am I the only one who saw that thing, with the EYE going all over and --"), and Guy ("DO I?! _DO_ I?! For all you know, I'm just Crewman Number Six, and I'm gonna die!! Mommy, mommy!!!"). Impossible to choose a favorite. Guy, however, still wins for best line: "Hey! Don't open that!! It's an alien planet!!! Is there AIR?!? YOU don't know!!!!!" (Apologies for going wildly off-topic. I adore this movie. ) "Pirates ... were of that old breed of rover whose port lay always a little farther on, a little beyond the skyline ... if they lived riotously let it be urged in their favor that at least they lived." ~ John Masefield Those who live by the sword, get shot instead.
