CPT. Jr Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I have a great appreaceation of the filming industry, and like to hear about other films, so what's your favorite pirate/nautical film? Here are some of mine Masters and Comanders The Horatio Hornblower series Blackbeard by hallmark The bucaneers(old old tv series) Walt dysnies return to treasure island series and of course Muppet treasure island Quote
Zorro Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Master and Commander, without any doubt. And lets not forget Pirates of the Carribean ! Not really that historical but good to watch anyway. Quote
Norrington Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (edited) Walt Disney's Treasure Island movies Walt Disney's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Horatio Hornblower Richard Sharpe The Patriot (not for the Mel Gibson scenes, the battle marching scenes) Master and Commander To a certain extent, the PotC movies. Edited October 7, 2008 by Norrington Quote
CPT. Jr Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 Man you guys are fast, yes 20,000 leauges under the sea is great, i even thaught about building a lego nautilus. The patriot is also a graet film, along with the Sharpe series. And the POTC movies are cool too but maybe a bit too special effecty? A new other intersting film is John Adams, producesd by HBO 7 episodes purely period corred excellent film/ documentary. Quote

A new other intersting film is John Adams, producesd by HBO 7 episodes purely period corred excellent film/ documentary. Not only is it great, in my opinion, it's the best Disney film ever made! (The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad is a close second) The ship models in 20k are great, and I'll get a screen capture later, when I have access to a PC (I have idea how to do it on a MAC. Any suggestions?) Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 The best film ever is by far Oceans on End #1 - The Island. But I also like POTC, Master and Commander, Blackbeard the Pirate etc. Quote
Scouty Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Not necessarily nautical, but The Buccaneer was a great film involving pirates in the War of 1812. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I forgot one of the best pirate films of all! Has anyone seen the Crimson Pirate? Quote
oo7 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I very much recommend Stanley Kubrick's cinematic masterpiece "Barry Lyndon". Quote
Bacchus Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 For me one of the best movie is PIRATES from 1986 IMDB link Quote
Dreamweb Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 "The Bounty" starring Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086993 I didn't like POTC that much, and I'm still planning to see Master and Commander. Quote
Guss Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Masters and Comanders, I liked it a lot. Barry London.. kubrick .. Pirates Of the Caribbean are funny I didn't really watched a lot of pirate movies I'm a fan of a manga that talk about pirates : One Piece, that's not a movie .. but .. there is some "one piece OAV" ^^ Quote
CPT. Jr Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 I forgot one of the best pirate films of all! Has anyone seen the Crimson Pirate? Man that film is hilarious, i love it, have you seen the other medival themed one too, i can't think of its name Quote
Lego12 Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 I love Blackbeard and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! They are awesome! I hope they make a LEGO Pirate movie! :P Quote
Zorro Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 (Captain Zuloo @ Oct 6 2008, 09:22 PM) I forgot one of the best pirate films of all! Has anyone seen the Crimson Pirate? Man that film is hilarious, i love it, have you seen the other medival themed one too, i can't think of its name I agree with both those statements. The Crimson Pirate was awesome ! BTW: did you guys know Christopher Lee played a small role in it? I read that some time ago, and I've checked that last time I've seen it, and yes: I recognized him. He played as the secretary of Herman ! I don't know there was a medieval version...never seen it, are you certain it came from the same director/producer? The Crimson Pirate was directed by Robert Siodmak and Burt Lancaster himselve(I'm pretty sure at least...). Quote
CPT. Jr Posted October 8, 2008 Author Posted October 8, 2008 (edited) Yeah, its by the same producer i think, it has the same caracters the mute guy too. It has something with an arrow in the title, the flame and the arrow Edited October 8, 2008 by CPT. Jr Quote
Admiral Bejaune Posted October 8, 2008 Posted October 8, 2008 The movie "Pirates" by Roman Polanski is the best pirate movie ever made. Its an older movie and not as well known as it should be. I suggest everyone find a copy and watch it. The galleon replica 'Neptune' was made for this movie. Quote
Rijkvv Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 I didn't see many movies, but from the ones I did see, I think Master and Commander is the best. The Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy is nice, but not realistic. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I love Blackbeard and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea! They are awesome! I hope they make a LEGO Pirate movie! :P When you say LEGO Pirate Movie, you do realise that BrickFace Studios can provide animation to a good script provided to them? More details, PM me. Another film, Damn the Defiant was a good one. I havn't watched it in ages, but I think it was about an English navy captain delivering a cargo of timber, when he crosses with a French enemy before finally joining the rest of the fleet. Quote
Ye Olde Pirate Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Well, I'd have to say: 1. Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl (I can't stand the two other POTC movies) 2. Master and Commander Far Side of the World Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 Well, I'd have to say:1. Pirates of the Caribbean Curse of the Black Pearl (I can't stand the two other POTC movies) 2. Master and Commander Far Side of the World Did you know, Master and Comander is based on a series of books. The Far Side of The World was the title of one book, although the movie was based on many of the books. Quote

The Far Side of The World was the title of one book, although the movie was based on many of the books. I did know that, altough the book series is rather long winded, if you catch my drift. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted October 11, 2008 Posted October 11, 2008 I did know that, altough the book series is rather long winded, if you catch my drift. Yeah. I havn't actually read it myself, but I have heard the movie is the way to read the story! Quote
