From the May 20th Chicago Tribune by Barry Koltnow.
Barry's a big fan of pirate movies and wants to know why there is only one pirate movie out this summer. This especially with all the money the Pirates of the Caribbean series has raked in "which should have inspired a glut of pirate movies..."
Pirate movies have been a Hollywood staple since the silent film era, but had fallen on hard times until the POC revived them.
Here are his Top Ten Best-Ever Pirate Movies:
10. The Black Swan (1942)
9. The Pirates of the Penzance (1983)
8. The Pirate (1948)
7. Peter Pan (1953)
6. Treasure Island (1934)
5. The Buccaneer (1958)
4. Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (OK, not a true pirate movie, but mutiny is sort of a pirate thing.)
3. Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (2003)
2. Captain Blood (1935)
1. The Sea Hawk (1940)
The last two with Errol Flynn who is certainly a more manly pirate than Captain Jack.
Love Those Pirate Movies. --Cooter
