POTC of course, Cutthroat Island, there is a pirate movie with Earl Flynn and Maureen O'Hara ( sorry dont remember the name) and honestly I love Treasure Planet (the cartoon movie about the space pirates. I know its a kiddy flick, but its got a great story.)

Only three films be what you ask,

Shiver me timbers, that's a mighty task!

But since you asked I'll do me best

The Devil and Davey Jones take the rest!

1. POTC:TBP

2. The Black Swan

3. The Sea Hawk

By thunder it hurts to leave out a few;

Like forgettin' the names of half me crew!

But watch these films that number three

And ye'll feel right at home upon the sea!

'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life

That raises our black flags."

To add a little different twist, I like the Count of Monte Cristo (2002). Not specifically pirate, but it's a fun movie, great fight scenes, buried treasure, pirates in it (OK smugglers, but lets not split hairs, eh?), knife fight on the beach, daring escapes from prison. It's got to at least meet the minimum criteria.
