Top 10 Pirate Movies

[@ryanmann9908]

this list proves that we need more pirate movies

[@shaggybreeks]

Captain Phillips was a pirate movie, but that's not the kind we want. Nothing wrong with that movie, but I don't think this is the kind of "pirate movie" you're thinking of. And you're right.

[@peraenivej]

There are, but it's hard when you need to produce a video before deadline. Check out my no. one: Cutthroat Island

[@imdead1922]

I want a realistic one like maybe about Anne Bonnie or something

There is a dire need for more pirate movies. It's worth mentioning Black Sails, excellent TV series for those who like pirates!

[@lovejen01]

some of these movies were not even pirate movies, just because it has character that is a pirate does not mean a pirate movie

[@Nobodyspecial2732]

Agreed

[@chrisellersagangsta]

Straight up

[@doncapoeira8905]

+chuck findlay At least they got #1 right.

[@megstar3608]

+chuck findlay I was thinking the exact same thing. Pirates of the Caribbean and Treasure Island? Yeah, obviously movies about pirates. But Peter Pan and Princess Bride? Definitely not.

[@eliascrooker7773]

Megstar360 you're insane if you think Peter Pan isn't a pirate movie.

[@ArtimusDragon]

I don't think anyone can make a better pirate movie than POTC. Everybody from Jack to Gibbs were so damn loveable.

[@1krani]

+AceTheFace954 Muppet Treasure Island.

[@ArtimusDragon]

Ikrani lol right

[@ArtimusDragon]

Ikrani lol I'll add it to my list.

[@alphadios2003]

Cutthroat Island... Caraibi ... some names which could go very well there.

[@sdsdfdu4437]

AceTheFace954 you ever notice how they don't do much pirating in the movie?

[@matthewwhite4564]

You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow!

[@RJRblox]

Classic

[@DJShire_ATL]

1990's Treasure Island with Christian Bale was definitely the best Pirate movie ever.

[@kevinmccoy4267]

It doesn't get any better than potc

[@blodstainer]

Wrong. Kaizoku-o oni ore wa naru! Pirate King, Monkey .D Luffy will rule the world He'd single-handedly beat everyone in the Pirates of the Carribean movies easily.

[@sandosam8797]

Davy Jones or cursed barbossa

[@blodstainer]

[@stronguista9417]

The best pirate experience is ASSASSINS CREED 4 BLACK FLAG!!!

[@n.kosviner2742]

Stronguista94 You do realise thought that AC: Black Flag is not a movie?

[@bolosandninjarolls]

[@adamringlund2906]

Good pirate game, bad Assassin's Creed game.

[@wassimchiha2589]

i totally agree mate !

[@redcoataLex]

You should have played Sea Dogs 2, way better.

[@cadoized]

And TinTin? That was a great movie! Loved the originals and comics!

[@22RedEyeJedi22]

I want to see Tarantino do an adaptation of Pirate latitudes by Crichton! It could be everything we've all wanted from a pirate movie. I think pirates of the Caribbean is good for kids but that is it...not what I expect from pirates...which is a bloody harsh adult environment.

[@wangson]

Swiss Family Robinson was amazing!! My brother and I would keep asking our parents to rent that movie over and over...one of the most fun films I've watched in my day!

[@DWrathborne]

No Yellowbeard? Cutthroat Island? Pirates (1986, with Walter Matthau)? Ice Pirates? Pirates of Penzance? I can understand not including Treasure Planet and Muppet Treasure Island, since they're just revisions of Treasure Island, yet there are two films here based on Peter Pan... Come on Mojo, you can do better.

[@justinratcliffe947]

Muppet Treasure Island is awesome

[@ezplang]

I was rlly excpecting Treasure planet to be here

[@Theodoreroum]

Princess Bride in a Pirates Movies "Top 10 of all times"? LOL. For a movie that never displays any piracy or even a pirate flag or anything related to piracy other than a mention to "Dread Pirate Roberts", that *is* weird. I guess there are hardly any pirate movies out there. This can explain it.

[@artzreal]

crossbones and black sails

[@peterandschakosyoutubechannel]

The Crimson Pirate with Burt Lancaster is my favorite.

[@larrylemson]

The Crimson Pirate starring Burt Lancaster should have been on the list.

[@xisle555]

Cutthroat Island starring Geena Davis was a great pirate movie, yet not included. Highly recommended.

[@anabl5616]

I'm so happy you put Captain Blood in! I was fearing you were only going to put in more recent movies :)

[@John-wk8ub]

This will never complete without pirates of the Caribbean

[@gsom7]

Everybody loves PotC, but Captain Blood (1935) is great pirate movie!

[@toa395]

So glad that Pirates of the Caribbean made it. Though the ride is definitely cheesy, the movie was pretty good.

[@mureks]

Now when i watched your list, i will not allow to forget about pirate movie masterpiece The Crimson Pirate. My childhood best pirate movie ever.

[@darkwoodmovies]

Pirates of the Carribean is THE pirate movie IMO. Glad to see it's been sorted in the right place.

[@Caio0_057]

How could the Sea Hawk not be on this list!? Just the amazing Score by Erich Wolfgang Korngold should have gotten it on here!

[@davidhelvering]

Agreed. The Sea Hawk is a Top 5 all-time pirate movie, and it’s a shame it wasn’t on this list.

[@robertbennett9528]

The Pirate Movie (1982) starring Kristy McNichol and Christopher Atkins remains in my top spot as favorite Pirate film.

[@vegetasolo1221]

Dead Man's Chest is by far the BEST PIRATES MOVIE EVER!!!!

[@Nobodyspecial2732]

Why with the kraken

[@thomasmcginley7944]

At World's End takes the cake for me. How can you top a battle in a maelstrom?! I know!!! By finally killing that emotionless sob Beckett!!!

[@K3LBeLL86]

Hook is my very favorite! LOVE Dustin Hoffman's performance as the infamous Captain James Hook

[@IvorPresents]

The recent remake of Peter Pan was excellent. 1934 Treasure Island was exceptional Treasure Planet was an unexpected treat.

[@MrPomdownunder]

glad to see Treasure Island - arguably the best version on the list ! Whats interesting is that Long John,played by Robert... used his own West Country accent and hence all pirates today sound like they come from Bristol ! AHHH ! Also Erol Flynn is rightly acknowleged . I liked Pirates of the Caribean particularly Kera Knightly !

[@LordDelakar]

I still feel like Treasure Island deserves #1 lets face it with out Robert Louis Stevenson most if not all other pirate movies would have never been made. If you want to see one of the best renditions of the film check out the old TnT classic Staring Christian Bale, Charlton Heston, Christopher Lee, and Oliver Reed.

Long live the Pirate Republic!

[@MobBossBobRoss]

For the record, Sir Henry Morgan was a privateer, not a pirate. It pretty much just means he was legally allowed to be a pirate to other pirates for the government.

[@nexus1g]

Not just against unaffiliated pirates, but to any enemies of the crown to which the privateer swore fealty.

[@MobBossBobRoss]

yup

[@ryand730]

SnappyK9 There's not really much difference between a privateer and a pirate. They all like gold and killing and alcohol.

[@nexus1g]

ryand730 Yep. The only difference between a privateer and a pirate was a letter of marque. And then you were a privateer to whomever provided you with the letter of marque and a pirate to everyone else.

[@MobBossBobRoss]

ryand730 Well maybe just enough of a difference to get you killed if you accused one of being the other. Hmm this actually reminds me of the Shichibukais from One Piece.

[@deannaingram181]

Why is "Cut Throat Island" not on this list...??? It's way better than a couple of these.

In The Black Swan, you got Henry Morgan's part of the plot mixed up with Captain Jamie Waring's part.

[@juliankandou9389]

[@eichs22]

Fun fact: the kid in the version of Treasure Island featured in this video is also Peter Pan. He is the actor that they used a sort of roto-scoping technique on for the animation and facial expressions of Peter Pan

*sigh* No matter how hard I search, I will never find a good pirate movie that will come close to being as good as The Pirates Of The Caribbean...

[@GothAlice]

The quick blurb on The Princess Bride hardly does justice. It's a story now handed down from generation to generation, with unparalleled demonstrations of sword skill choreographed by the best. It's a movie that appeals to all ages and will last for the next hundred years at least. Far superior in every aspect to Pirates of the Caribbean, an adaptation of an afterthought Disney attraction.

A good list, but the best of them all is not even on your list. Crimson Pirate is by far the best Pirate movie ever. The first Pirates of the Caribbean is also great. The Treasure Island is a great story, but I don't think any of the movie versions will be in my absolute top, but definitely in a top 10. My Top 3 1. Crimson Pirate 2. Captain Blood 3.
