'The Dark Frigate' should have been made into a movie by now, it's pretty good. Also, Howard Pyle's pirate book is also often overlooked… |

Just hope they don't turn it into a movie now… you can be sure it'll het butchered the way hollywood works now. |

The Black Swan is higher on my personal list. Pity the movie bore no resemblance to the book. And as witt says, nothing to be done in the present state of Hollywood. |

How about an Indy film? Leave Hollywood out of it. |

If they did it today Jim would be a girl and Long John Silver would be gay. |

Nobody was better than Sabatini in my "book!" |

Fifteen self-identifying non-birthing persons on a life-challenged trans' chest!
Yo-they-them and a recyclable, non-animal-based, sustainably-sourced, cruelty-free container of organically grown certified eco-friendly renewable-energy distilled Paleo-approved beverage which meets all the government regulations and requirements to be called ‘rum' but which may or may not actually contain rum! |

I did not take to G.M Fraser's 'The Pyrates' at all. I LOVED the Flashman books and wish he had continued the story instead of taking a break into rather silly comedic tales.
Great miss as a writer, though. |
