Henry Morgan, Blackbeard, Calico Jack, the Barbarossa Brothers, Sir Francis Drake, Madame Cheng: just a few names of many from a long history of global piracy throughout history. While the stories may be exaggerated, these figures truly did exist. Some of the more exaggerated tales told of mystical curses, disappearing ships, pirates from hell, and various supernatural happenings that would turn into modern narratives we see today. While the movies about a pirate's life in today's cinema strongly romanticize the concept, the true nature of piracy is and was desperation, distrust, greed, bureaucracy, and territorial dominance. Despite this, pirate characters in pop culture continue to grow in popularity, with Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp) as the prime example. While pirates are not painted to be the best of character considering their contrasting morals and poor hygiene, their redeeming qualities in cinema make viewers excited to see them on screen each and every time.
The most classic of pirate tales based on the novel that inspired many other iterations, Treasure Island encapsulates the spirit of the pirate world through the eyes of a young, aspiring traveler. When his curiosity and taste for adventure is ignited by a wandering pirate blabbering about buried treasure, young Jim Hawkins (Jackie Cooper) accompani...
A signature of the Disney classic collection, Peter Pan is a tale of imagination and magic that, again, has inspired many other variations of the narrative. Whisked away to the magical world of Neverland by the hero Peter Pan (Bobby Driscoll), Wendy Darling (Kathryn Beaumont) and her brothers travel to a plane of eternal youth and great evils that ...
Based on the aforementioned pirate classic Treasure Island, Treasure Planet follows a very similar narrative structure made into an animated, sci-fi odyssey for kids. Alienated from his community as a slacker and a rebel, young Jim Hawkins (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) acquires a treasure map from a dying pirate at their inn that sends him on an unforgett...
A much more grounded, contemporary pirate tale in cinema is Captain Phillips: a film based on a true story of Somali pirates and the cargo ship captain who attempts to keep them away. What makes this tale unique is that it is based on a real instance in 2009, when for the first time in 200 years, an American cargo ship was hijacked by pirates and the captain taken captive. While it is a good film to watch for the performances and story, it is a one-of-a-kind pirate film in how modern it is.
Read our review of Captain Phillips.
Hailed as a classic defined by its many sub-genres and great performances, The Princess Bride is part pirate tale, part romance, part fantasy, and many others. Torn away from his one true love after being abducted by the Dread Pirate Roberts, Westley (Cary Elwes) must face a various onslaught of foes standing between him and everlasting love. While...
Based on the tale of Peter Pan and his life after Neverland, Hook is an arguably underrated Spielberg flick that showcases some great performances and an interesting concept. When his children are stolen away from him by the notorious Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), Peter Banning AKA Peter Pan (Robin Williams) is forced to travel back to Neverland a...
Full of all the silliness to be expected in a Muppets movie, Muppet Treasure Island is an enjoyable variation of the pirate classic with some funny cameos and jokes that make it fun for the whole family. Instead of the muppets taking over the classic characters Billy Bones (Billy Connolly), Long John Silver (Tim Curry), and Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bisho...
Likely the most off-the-wall addition to this list, Porco Rosso is a fantastical tale from Hayao Miyazaki that deserves a spot nonetheless. Cursed to have the appearance of a human-like pig, Porco Rosso (Shûichirô Moriyama) is an Italian World War I fighter pilot that takes to the skies to fight off pirate aviators and stop their immoral acts. Celebrated by some as one of the more obscure, quality Miyazaki films, Porco Rosso holds a special place in the hearts of many.
