Rhapsody Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 May any scallywag out there know of a good pirate movie? (other then pirates of the carribean: curse of the black peral)
Father Brandon Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 And Does any soul Know if "The Princess Bride" has a decent amount of Piraty stuff in it? or if it be worth the time to watch it yarrr.
John_Young Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 Princess Bride? Not so much Pirate-y... but still worthwhile to watch, ye young punk scalliwag. "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..." "I don't care who ye say you are lad, if ye say 'savvy' one more time, I'll bury this cutlass in that thick skull of yers!" -Captain John Young - PILF
MadMaryFlint Posted September 15, 2003 Posted September 15, 2003 The Princess Bride is the official movie of our fencing club... Great movie.
Rhapsody Posted September 15, 2003 Author Posted September 15, 2003 ARrrrrrr but what be a good pirate movie?
Scupper Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 You might try The Sea Hawks, Captain Blood, Treasure Island, Under the Black Flap, The Pirate Movie to be naming a few. Scupper "That's the navy for you. Rum in the scuppers today. Blood in the scuppers tomorrow."Thrist is a shameless disease. So here's to a shameful cure!"Loyalty, honesty and directness are traits I admire. Insecurity, snipes and disrespect I will not tolerate in the least."
Hawkyns Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Treasure Island. the early 90's Turner version with Charlton Heston as Long John and Julian Glover as Dr. Livesy Damn fine movie, great casting and a sound track by the Chieftains. It's only available on VHS, unfortunately. This is one I'd love to get on DVD. Hawkyns Cannon add dignity to what otherwise would be merely an ugly brawl I do what I do for my own reasons. I do not require anyone to follow me. I do not require society's approval for my actions or beliefs. if I am to be judged, let me be judged in the pure light of history, not the harsh glare of modern trends.
Capt Grey Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Me maties and me be screenin' a few pirate movies to celebrate Talk Like A Pirate Day. Here be the list we chose from (provided by the mates here on this board): The Pirate Movie (1982) Ice Pirates Captain Blood (Errol Flynn 1952) Princess Bride The Sea Hawk (Errol Flynn) The Crimson Pirate Hook Swashbuckler (with James Earl Jones) Aboott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd Blackbeard the Pirate Blackbeard's Ghost (Disney) Cutthroat Island Goonies Shipwrecked (1990) Treasure Island Treasure Planet YellowBeard (AKA Monty Python goes to Sea) (1983) Muppet Treasure Island Buccanear The Black Swan Against All Flags The Black Pirate Pirates (Roman Polanski) The King's Pirate The Pirate (Gene Kelley, Judy Garland) The Princess and the Pirate (Bob Hope) We be choosin' a movie from each era: black and white, 60's-80's, and children's. The votin' ain't done yet but it be a goodly list. Captain, we always knew you were a whoopsie. Rumors of my death are entirely premature.
Saber Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Words to warm me heart! I'm going with the Crimson Pirate!!! Burt did his own stunts along with his movie partner Oh ho... I think that was the mutes name? Anyone ????
Coastie04 Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I'd put forth another movie for ye all to consider. The Count of Monte Cristo (Jim Caviezel, Guy Pearce, Richard Harris) was a great movie with fine swordsmanship and bits of smuggling. One of the best scene's is a knife fight on the beach, though the opening fight scene is one of the best cutlass fight scenes I've ever seen. Besides, there's hidden treasure, betrayal, and revenge... Definitely a fun one to watch. Coastie04 She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
John_Young Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Aye.... but it's not exactly a pirate movie... "Yo Ho, all together hoist the colours high Heave Ho, theives and beggers Never shall we die..." "I don't care who ye say you are lad, if ye say 'savvy' one more time, I'll bury this cutlass in that thick skull of yers!" -Captain John Young - PILF
Coastie04 Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Aye, not exactly a pirate movie, but is the Princess Bride really a pirate movie? It was given a lot of mention here. Though not technically a pirate movie, I believe that it is a movie that pirate fans would like. She was bigger and faster when under full sail With a gale on the beam and the seas o'er the rail
John_Young Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Aye... But Princess Bride has the Dread Pirate Roberts !

Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I think the list above hit all the ones I could think of.. Plus, there be Peter Pan coming for Christmas. Jason Isaacs as Hook... .... .... .... Sorry, Mates, I was distracted. Ever since that blighter was Lucius Malfoy I sort of have a habit of starin' at his eyes.... Bad Lucky! *swats forehead* "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle-
Reginald McCrumb Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 I can't believe that not one, but two people here mentioned the lame Kristy McNichol vehicle The Pirate Movie... I had been trying desperately to erase it from memory, but alas... I'm going to go put alcohol on some old wounds here... "Red Rum" "How do you expect His Majesty's Empire to reap the wealth of the Carribean?" "Ye STEAL it o' course!"
John Maddox Roberts Posted September 16, 2003 Posted September 16, 2003 Saber: Burt's voiceless buddy was Nick Cravat, his partner from their circus acrobat days. Nick was also in The Flame and the Arrow with Burt, and a few others. He could speak, but wasn't comfortable with speaking roles. To compensate, he had the best body language since Lon Chaney.

Father Brandon Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Yarrr, This List be good.. thanks for the help ye Guppys! !
Coastie04 Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 For a fairly complete list (as far as I can tell), go to http://noquartergiven.net/movies.htm Not only all the pirate movies I've seen are listed there, but there's even skulls to mark the good ones!

Father Brandon Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Arg, most of those movies are over 50 years old.. After POTC I hope more Pirate Movies will follow.
Lucky Penny Hawkings Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Arg, most of those movies are over 50 years old.. After POTC I hope more Pirate Movies will follow. An' let's hope that they're GOOD ones.. It would not 'elp to 'ave a bunch o' rotten pirate movies come out all the sudden. "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful. Hate me because I am robbing you, tossing you overboard, and stealing your ship!" -the only thing more dangerous than her.. is her needle-
Father Brandon Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 Yeah, I would at least hope any new pirate Movie that comes out after POTC would be original or unique. But thats pretty hard to do with a pirate movie.
John Maddox Roberts Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 A bit of "Crimson Pirate" trivia: its original title was "The Red Pirate," but this was the height of the McCarthy era, and Burt was called to Washington to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee about supposed Communist infiltration of the film business. The studio decided that, with this sort of publicity, they'd better not have "red" in the title. It was ironic on several levels: no real pirate would have caved so cravenly (far as I know, Burt had no say in the matter, it was the studio chiefs who caved.) Second, what sort of loon would think that linking "red" with "pirate" was somehow pro-Marxist? And we think we live in weird times. It's hard to beat the early 50's.
Redd Oktober Posted September 21, 2003 Posted September 21, 2003 Okay...we've been mentionin' good pirate movies... ...the all time worst in my book be Roman Polanski's PIRATES! YARRR! The Oktober be silent now! Just call me "REDD!"
