    Pirate/High Seas films

    What are the classic pirate or other 19th century naval action films? I can't name very many with good broadsiding and swushbuckling.

    Master and Commander is fantastic despite the mix of bits from different books.
    POC part 1 is great, Depp is good but Geoffrey Rush gets my vote for true pirating in parts 1 and 3.
    Pirates by Polanski - Classic!

    Not to be confused with Spenny from Edinburgh

    This is 18th Century, but a classic film: The Crimson Pirate.

    Dorothy : ‘How can you talk if you haven’t got a brain?’
    Scarecrow: ‘I don’t know… But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking… don’t they?’
    Dorothy: ‘Yes, I guess you’re right.’
