GOOD Pirate Movies


Gyp The Blood

Recommended Posts

I realize there's a topic in this forum that lists all of the pirate movies ever made. But can anyone set my compass toward the really good ones? (Understanding, of course, that, like me, most of ye would rather see a bad pirate movie than no pirate movie. :D )

Here's the tidy few favorites that I have in my own personal collection (not that all of these are necessarily "good", but I like 'em). But what others do y'all feel are some of the best of the rest?

The Black Pirate

The Black Swan

Buccaneer, The (1958)

Captain Blood

The Crimson Pirate

Cutthroat Island [W]

Finding Neverland

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (OK, not a pirate moive per se, but damn fine nautical fare)

Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (listed here solely for the Crimson Permanent Assurance segment in the film, of course)

Muppet Treasure Island

Peter Pan (1953, Disney)

Peter Pan (2003)

Roman Polanski’s Pirates

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl

The Princess and the Pirate

The Princess Bride

Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats. -- H.L. Mencken

Now and then we had a hope that if we lived and were good, God would permit us to be pirates. -- Mark Twain
