Well, not my favourite, but Basil Rathbone and his outrageous French accent do steal the show quite nicely! |

Definitely Captain Blood. I don't consider The Princess Bride a Pirate movie. |

I need to see Captain Blood. I probably saw it when I was a kid, but that has been a long time. |

Turner Classic Movies shows it from time to time. |

A classic. I believe it won best picture that year. |

Can't disagree with those two. Sea Hawks wasn't bad. |

The Black Pirate (1926) Silent, but fantastic story, costumes & sets |

The Crimson Pirate, for me, is always fun to watch. |
| Ostroc | 14 Apr 2026 3:05 p.m. PST |
I like the Crimson Pirate too |

Treasure Island is certainly a pirate movie, but not one of pirate ship to ship battles. More of a skirmish game, which I have done with the excellent foundry figures.. |
