  Pirate movies have NEVER done well at the box office but keep being made anyway. Save for the mentioned "Captain Blood" I have never seen a good one.

  I presume most of us read those books when we were much younger, and our imagination was not yet soiled with jobs, taxes, mortgages, abortions, animal rights? I think it was the age before 15 when I read all those. Captain Blood was one of my all-time favorites.

  Swashbuckler with Robert Shaw was decent.
