I'd have to say Wallace Beery as Long John Silver in the 1934 version of Treasure Island. Jackie Cooper played Jim Hawkins in that one. B)

"Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?"

There are so many different types of pirates that it is difficult to choose just one.

Funniest - Johnny Depp as Capt. Jack Sparrow in POTC,

... Walter Mathau as Captain Red in Captain Red

Most classic fictional pirate - Geoffrey Rush as Capt. Barbossa in POTC

Most scary - Wallace Beery as Long John Silver in Treasure Island

Most musical - Tim Curry as Long John Silver in Muppets Treasure Island

Most unbelievable - Gina Davis as Morgan in Cutthroat Island (no woman is that strong)

Most athletic - Burt Lancaster as Capt. Vallo in the Crimson Pirate, Errol Flynn as Dr. Peter Blood

... in Captain Blood

So much for me 2 dubloons worth.

Jack II
