Dive in to explore 30 of the finest pirate films ever created – no need for an eye patch or a chatty parrot!

30. Captain Pirate (1952)

Kicking off our top picks for pirate films, we begin with “Captain Pirate” in “Blackbeard the Pirate.” Here, we witness a captivating portrayal of Captain Blackbeard by Newton, who not only showcased his acting prowess by treading on two legs but also displayed peculiar behaviors. A term for exaggerated acting is “scenery-chewing,” and Newton did more than just chew – he devoured, processed, and regurgitated the scenery. His performance was indispensable; without him, any scene in “Blackbeard the Pirate” would fall flat and lose its life.

It’s been quite some time since Captain Blood received a pardon from the Crown for his heroic deeds against the Spanish on the Caribbean coast, and he now enjoys a serene life on his plantation in the West Indies, where he practices medicine and plans his wedding to Isabella. However, this peaceful lifestyle is shattered when Hilary Evans appears and accuses him of piracy. It seems someone has been illegally occupying the islands while posing as Captain Blood. To clear his name, Captain Blood must once again hoist the “Jolly Roger” and set sail.

29. Waterworld (1995)

Waterworld could be considered an unconventional addition to a list of top pirate films, yet it encompasses all essential elements. Despite its peculiar take on piracy, it offers plenty of sea voyages, thrilling swordplay, and a map guiding to a hidden fortune that’s not what you’d expect. Unlike traditional pirate stories set in the golden age, this one is set far ahead in time, in a world ravaged by climate disaster.

Due to the melting of polar ice caps, the entire planet finds itself underwater. Survivors navigate the oceans in search of sustenance and shelter. Multiple societies have emerged. The Mariner, once living a solitary life, is compelled to forgo his usual isolation to care for a woman and a young girl, all while evading the malevolent forces of the Deacon.

28. A High Wind in Jamaica (1965)

In the year 1870, Jamaica experiences a powerful storm. A family residing on the island – comprising of a British couple and their five kids – contemplate sending their children to England for proper schooling due to concerns that their upbringing in Jamaica might make them unrefined if they stay longer. This story is an adaptation of Richard Hughes’ novel, titled “A High Wind in Jamaica,” which follows the traditional pirate narrative.

Concerned that their kids might lack refinement growing up in Jamaica, the parents decide to relocate them to England. Unfortunately, during the voyage, pirates seize control of the children’s ship, leaving them stranded on a pirate ship instead. The youngsters see their situation as exciting rather than dangerous, with one girl, Emily, developing an unusual bond with Chavez, the pirate captain. The pirates, who are prone to superstition, plan to disembark the children at the first opportunity, but a sudden event halts them, and Emily’s connection with Chavez experiences an unforeseen twist.

27. The Sea Hawk (1940)

If you’re looking for an action-packed pirate movie set against a historical background, I recommend checking out The Sea Hawk from the 1940s.

Captain Geoffrey Thorpe, portrayed by Errol Flynn, serves as a privateer, one of many Sea-Hawks tasked with guarding the seas under Queen Elizabeth I (Dame Flora Robson). During his service, he sinks a Spanish galleon carrying Don José Alvarez de Cordoba (Claude Rains) and his niece Doa Maria (Brenda Marshall), which angers the Queen, though England is not at war. Thorpe and his associates, however, are highly wary of Spain and encourage the Queen to bolster her navy. With the Queen’s tacit approval, Thorpe journeys to Panama to plunder his enemies’ wealth but gets double-crossed. He and his crew are taken captive by the Spanish, tried in court, and sentenced to labor on galleys as slaves. However, he manages to escape with evidence that Spain is preparing to launch the Spanish Armada against England.

26. Swiss Family Robinson (1960)

The story “Swiss Family Robinson” centers around a family who encounter a disaster at sea while journeying towards tropical New Guinea. Their shipwreck leaves them stranded on a solitary, lush island. With their vessel damaged and pirates roaming the vicinity, they are forced to live there. Over time, they build a life on this island, primarily around an enormous treehouse, which serves as their home. They fill their days by exploring the island’s unique flora and fauna. The narrative offers numerous thrilling moments as the family confronts the challenges of survival amidst pirate attacks, and the brothers adapt to life on an island with an uncertain future.

25. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954)

In the year 1868, a fearsome sea monster wreaks havoc on the ocean, sinking ships left and right! A group of three unusual companions decide to join forces with a naval vessel in their quest to catch this aquatic menace. However, they soon find that the source of destruction isn’t some beast but rather a marvelous underwater vehicle known as a submarine. The trio is then captured by the enigmatic Captain Nemo and his crew aboard the Nautilus, leading them on an unforgettable journey of exploration and discovery beneath the waves in the vast, mysterious depths of the ocean.

24. Treasure Planet (2002)

In the absence of his father and with his mother deeply troubled, Jim Hawkins (played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt) appears as a directionless teen to the outside world, often perceived as a lazy layabout with no promising future. However, it takes a fateful, heartbreaking night for even Jim himself to perceive the bright sides of his life when a dying pirate bestows upon him the map to his dreams – the legendary treasure of Captain Nathaniel Flint (voiced by Peter Cullen).

Jim develops a mentor figure in the ship’s cook, a cyborg named John Silver, as he embarks on a space voyage filled with questionable individuals (Brian Murray). Yet, his trust in this new ally becomes precarious as they approach Treasure Planet.

23. Cutthroat Island (1995)

From a passionate movie lover’s perspective: I found myself captivated by the swashbuckling adventure of Cutthroat Island, where the story revolves around a spirited pirate named Morgan Adams. Her father, in an unusual twist, bequeaths her his ship and a section of a treasure island map etched mysteriously onto his scalp. In search of a scholar versed in Latin to decipher this cryptic map, Morgan acquires the services of the learned slave William Shaw and embarks on a thrilling voyage to find the missing piece of the puzzle. Yet, as the tale unfolds, it becomes evident that Shaw has his own motives, and he manages to secure the second portion of the map, adding an intriguing layer of deception to this captivating pirate yarn.

Despite this, he is easier to handle compared to Morgan’s grumpy, not-so-affectionate pirate uncle, Dog.

22. Muppet Treasure Island (1996)

In my opinion, I found myself utterly captivated by the Muppet rendition of “Treasure Island”. As a devoted fan, I was thrilled to see Kermit the Frog stepping into the role of our esteemed captain and Gonzo joining the crew. Yet, it was Tim Curry’s electrifying portrayal of Long John Silver that truly stole the show. His performance as a pirate, paired with the delightful Muppet characters, seemed like the pinnacle of his career, exuding an infectious joy and energy.

Following Jim Hawkins (Kevin Bishop)’s ears, old Billy Bones (Sir Billy Connolly) spun a yarn about Flint’s last voyage. As we were engrossed in this tale, Billy himself collapsed and breathed his last, right as we were set upon by pirates. With our backs against the wall, we made a beeline for town, where we successfully persuaded Squire Trelawney (Fozzie Bear) (Frank Oz) to lend us a ship and crew to track down the hidden treasure Bones had spoken of before his demise. It didn’t take long for us to realize that not everyone aboard could be trusted during our journey across the seas.

21. The Black Swan (1942)

In 1942, the pirate movie titled “The Black Swan,” was praised for its striking color visuals, a rarity at the time when most films were shot in black and white. Interestingly, it won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography in Color, a category that no longer exists today. This film is an adaptation of the novel with the same name written by renowned author Rafael Sabatini, who is also known for his work “Captain Blood.

As a devoted cinephile, I find myself transported back to the 17th century, stepping into the role of Sir Henry Morgan, newly appointed Governor of Jamaica in 1674. Declaring an end to the era of piracy, I extend invitations to my former captain comrades, urging them to abandon their seafaring ways and set sail for England. Not all agree with this change, and one among them, Captain Leech, remains defiant. Yet, he finds a loophole in this new order when offered sailing wisdom from the English aristocrat, Roger Ingram, with the promise of overthrowing the newly appointed Governor. Jamie Waring, a renegade pirate of our past, seizes Lady Margaret Denby, the daughter of the previous Governor, as a means to thwart Ingram’s sinister plans.

20. Pirates (1986)

Among our top 20 picks for the greatest pirate movies ever made is the film titled “Pirates,” released in 1986. The story begins with Captain Red, a notorious English pirate, and his young cabin boy, Jean-Baptiste or “Frog,” finding themselves adrift on a raft without provisions in the vast ocean. Miraculously, they are rescued by the Neptune, a Spanish vessel sailing back to Spain.

Captain Red skillfully works alongside a charming young French sailor named Frog in leading a formidable pirate vessel. One day, however, Capt. Red is captured and taken aboard a Spanish galleon. Yet, his intelligence leads him to instigate a rebellion among the crew, take charge of the ship, and abduct the governor’s niece from Maracaibo. The question remains: can he keep up this momentum?

19. Captain Kidd (1945)

In this fictional account, Captain William Kidd is portrayed as a crafty, ruthless pirate even before he deceives the king into assigning him protection for an Indian treasure ship in 1699. He gathers a team of previously pardoned criminals – among them Orange Povey, who Kidd had deserted on a reef long ago. Unsurprisingly, Kidd’s intentions are sinister. Yet, gunner Adam Mercy turns out to be more than just what appears on the surface.

18. The Buccaneer (1958)

If you’re a fan of stories rooted in history and movies about battles, don’t miss out on “The Buccaneer.” This pirate movie is set amidst the War of 1812 and tells the tale of Jean Lafitte, a privateer, as he takes part in the Battle of New Orleans.

During the War of 1812, the British have seized Washington and aim to capture New Orleans. In this city, notorious pirate Jean Lafitte courts blueblood Annette de Remy and openly peddles his loot in a market catering to pirates. Despite never attacking an American vessel, could the British tempt Lafitte with a bribe to join their cause? Can Lafitte persuade U.S. officials of his loyalty amidst the intrigue? A love triangle between Annette and Gretchen, a captivating Dutch survivor rescued from a pirate’s loot, may complicate matters for Lafitte.

17. Captain Blood (1935)

1935 saw the release of Captain Blood, a film centered around Dr. Peter Blood’s life. After being falsely accused of treason during the Monmouth Rebellion and imprisoned, he was exiled to the West Indies and sold into slavery. However, his luck took a turn when Arabella Bishop, the Governor’s daughter from Port Royal, Jamaica, bought him for £10 to irritate her uncle, who owned a vast plantation.

Life can be challenging for many men, and Blood is no exception to this rule. By mere happenstance, he successfully treats the Governor’s gout, earning him a place within the medical team. He harbors a strong desire for freedom, and when the opportunity arises, he and his companion lead a rebellion, taking command of a Spanish ship that was assaulting the city.

In no time, they were feared as the ruthless pirates on the sea, robbers without a homeland who attacked every ship they encountered. When Blood decides to bring Arabella back to Port Royal, he finds out that it is now governed by England’s latest enemy, France. They are left with the decision of whether or not to battle for their new sovereign.

16. Treasure Island (1990)

The classic tale “Treasure Island” by Robert Louis Stevenson has been reimagined for the big screen on several occasions. Yet, Disney’s 1950 adaptation, marking their first entirely live-action production, is particularly noteworthy. This film is a cherished family favorite that will captivate audiences of all ages.

In the process of assisting his mother run the Benbow Inn, a young man named Jim Hawkins crosses paths with Captain Billy Bones. This encounter takes an unfortunate turn when Captain Bones passes away at the inn, during an attack by pirates led by Blind Pew. Jim and his mother successfully fend off these invaders. In the aftermath, they discover Captain Bones’ treasure map, explaining the reason behind the pirate raid. Agreeing to join Squire Trelawney and Dr. Livesey on their voyage aboard the Hispaniola, Jim embarks on a quest to uncover the wealth hidden on a mythical island.

Long John Silver, the cook and rogue aboard the ship, incites a rebellion among the crew who covet wealth when they reach the island. Jim helps the officials of Squire and the Hispaniola to survive the uprising and regain control of the Hispaniola from Silver’s followers.

15. Blackbeard’s Ghost (1968)

1968’s Blackbeard’s Ghost is another Disney swashbuckling tale, where a high school track coach encounters the ghost of the notorious pirate, Blackbeard.

In this comedy, the famed pirate Blackbeard, who has been eternally cursed by his ex-wife, a powerful witch, appears as a spirit portrayed by Sir Peter Ustinov. The curse can only be lifted if Blackbeard manages to perform at least one good deed in his lifetime. Can the notorious pirate truly do something kind?

14. Hook (1991)

Coming up at slot 14, we present the film “Hook,” directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1991. This movie offers a fresh take on the classic Peter Pan story, exploring what would happen if Peter Pan was forced to abandon Neverland and embrace adulthood. If you remember, Peter Pan never wanted to grow up; however, this film delves into that scenario, resulting in thrilling and surprisingly emotional outcomes.

An astonishing turn of events: Peter Pan, played by Robin Williams, has matured beyond recognition and lost sight of himself. He’s morphed into a self-absorbed workaholic who largely ignores his own children. Tragically, Captain James Hook, portrayed by Dustin Hoffman, seizes this opportunity to kidnap Peter’s kids, with the intention of drawing him back to Neverland for one final showdown. It falls upon Tinkerbell, Peter’s loyal fairy companion (portrayed by Julia Roberts), and the Lost Boys to awaken Peter’s memories and remind him of who he truly is.

13. The Pirates: Band Of Misfits (2012)

2012 saw the release of “The Pirates! In An Adventure with Scientists!” – a stop-motion animated movie featuring a band of unruly pirate misfits. Notable actors like Hugh Jackman, Salma Hayek, Brendan Gleeson, and Martin Freeman contributed their voices to this film.

Constantly overpowered by formidable foes such as Cutlass Liz, Peg Leg Hastings, and Black Bellamy, the disheartened Pirate Captain feels it’s long overdue for him to win the prestigious “Pirate of the Year Award” in 1837. However, achieving this goal won’t be simple, as the resolute captain and his crew of misfits embark on a hazardous journey that entails Queen Victoria herself, an exceptionally rare dodo bird, and a brilliant young scientist named Charles Darwin. Will the Pirate Captain manage to shock everyone with a victory?

12. Captain Phillips (2013)

Unlike typical pirate movies set during the sailing era’s heyday, “Captain Phillips” is a film that deviates from the norm. Instead, it’s based on real-life incidents that took place recently. This gripping historical drama recounts the 2009 hijacking of Maersk Alabama in the Indian Ocean near Somalia’s coast. Four pirates seized control of the ship, ultimately capturing Captain Richard Phillips.

As a movie enthusiast, I’d say that “Captain Phillips” offers a profound exploration of the 2009 pirate attack on the Maersk Alabama by Somali pirates. It’s more than just a heart-stopping action flick; it’s also a thoughtful depiction of the complex consequences of globalization, as director Paul Greengrass masterfully illustrates through his unique perspective.

As I sat down to watch this gripping tale unfold, I found myself drawn into the tense relationship between Commander Richard Phillips and Muse, the cunning Somali pirate captain who seizes him. The paths of these two characters converge in a heart-pounding sequence where Muse and his crew launch an unexpected assault on Phillips’ defenseless vessel. During the ensuing standoff, 145 miles off the Somalian coast, both men find themselves at the mercy of forces beyond their comprehension. This movie is a riveting exploration of human resilience and the lengths people will go to survive in the face of adversity.

11. The Crimson Pirate (1952)

During the 1950s, there was a significant increase in the appeal of pirate movies. Although modern filmmakers have access to advanced special effects and digital imagery, movies like The Crimson Pirate still offer viewers thrilling escapades, clever action scenes, and endearing rogues.

Having taken control of a British warship, Captain Vallo, also known as the Crimson Pirate, spots an opportunity for gain. On board the ship is Baron Jose Gruda, who has been sent to the Caribbean to quell an independence movement led by a man known as El Libre. Vallo plans to sell the ship’s weapons and gunpowder to El Libre, then make twice as much money by revealing the rebel’s identity and location to Gruda. However, things do not go as expected when Vallo encounters Consuelo, who turns out to be El Libre’s daughter. Moved by this encounter, Vallo decides to abandon his plan and instead supports the rebels.

10. The Goonies (1985)

The movie The Goonies features many pirate scenes, such as a treasure room on the ship of a man named One-Eyed Willy. This film, loved by critics and now considered a 1980s classic, is hard to watch without getting pulled into its adventure.

Unfortunately, the entire town of Goon Docks in Oregon is at risk of foreclosure to construct a new golf course. But when a gang of childhood friends known as the “Goonies” discover an old treasure map full of cryptic hints and clues pointing towards pirate “One-Eyed” Willy’s hidden fortune, they find a chance to save their homes. As the wicked Fratelli family pursues them, a high-stakes race against time begins, guiding the Goonies through an intricate network of cunningly dangerous traps in an underground labyrinth created by Willy to protect his riches. Will the brave Goonies prove their determination? Above all, is the treasure authentic?

9. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)

In the story of Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, Captain Jack Sparrow (played by Johnny Depp) eludes capture in London only to discover that a fraud is assembling a crew and ship using his name. He crosses paths with this deceiver, who turns out to be Angelica (Penélope Cruz), a woman whom he had once wooed in Seville’s convent. Jack finds himself kidnapped, and when he regains consciousness, the vessel is already underway. Angelica reveals that her father, Blackbeard the pirate (portrayed by Ian McShane), is cursed and believes that locating Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth is the key to breaking this curse and saving his life.

In this scenario, Jack, who possesses the knowledge of the fountain’s whereabouts, is compelled to serve as their guide. Simultaneously, Captain Hector Barbossa (portrayed by Geoffrey Rush) is commissioned by King George (Richard Griffiths) to command the British crew in their conflict against the Spaniards. However, Blackbeard, who has already reached the fountain’s location, awaits them. As they embark on this perilous journey, they must first locate two chalices once owned by Ponce de Leon and a mermaid’s tear, before they can reach their goal.

8. Peter Pan (2003)

When considering Peter Pan films, people often recall the classic Disney animated version and Hook. Yet, a 2003 film adaptation of the renowned novel, appreciated by many critics for its accuracy to the original storyline while maintaining an engaging fantasy plot, is frequently overlooked.

As a captivated moviegoer, I found myself spellbound by Wendy Darling’s enchanting bedtime stories set against the backdrop of steamy Edwardian London. Each night, she whisked her brothers away with tales of daring swordplay, thrilling swashbuckling, and the menacing Captain Hook.

But one fateful evening, the line between story and reality blurred as Peter Pan swooped into their nursery, beckoning them on a moonlit adventure across rooftops, past twinkling constellations, and into the verdant forests of Neverland. Here, Wendy and her siblings stepped out of their ordinary lives and into the extraordinary, joining forces with Peter and his band of Lost Boys in an exhilarating existence free from adult constraints.

Yet, the thrill was not without peril as they faced off against the ruthless Captain Hook and his ravenous pirate crew. In Neverland, Wendy and her brothers discovered a world where dreams could come to life, but also one fraught with danger and adventure that tested their courage and camaraderie.

7. Peter Pan (1953)

All throughout, the animation is vivid, radiant, and stunningly beautiful. Moreover, Peter Pan boasts catchy melodies that will make you yearn to sail off to neverland.

A reimagining of J. M. Barrie’s story about a child who remained forever young. The Darling siblings find themselves in an extraordinary adventure when they are taken by Peter Pan, an ageless boy, to the mystical land of Neverland. In this fantastical realm, Peter and his motley crew of lost boys are engaged in a fierce battle with the villainous Pirate Captain Hook.

6. The Pirates Of Penzance (1983)

Since 1983, “The Pirates of Penzance” is a romantic, humorous musical production. The movie, adapted from the Broadway play, seems to have been lifted straight from the stage with its striking sets and musical atmosphere that saturates every scene in this film. Notably, it features numerous amusing pirate sequences, but the musical numbers are also inventive, catchy, and perfectly suited for the pirate environment.

Originally intended to be a trainee pilot, Fredric (Rex Smith) ended up becoming an apprentice pirate by mistake, thanks to his housekeeper. Hailing from the Penzance Pirates, he was ready for this new life at sea. Upon the housekeeper’s plea to join him, he consented, but their journey didn’t last long before he encountered and fell deeply in love with Major General Stanley’s daughters (George Rose), causing him to reject his loyal housekeeper Ruth (Dame Angela Lansbury).

In the tale, Mabel Stanley (portrayed by Linda Ronstadt) ultimately decides to return his affection despite their initial reluctance because he was a pirate. He was not just any pirate, but the most handsome among them all. However, an unexpected event in the narrative catches him and his strong pirate convictions.

5. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)

In Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, Captain Jack Sparrow, portrayed by Johnny Depp, finds himself in a tough spot as his luck has finally given way.

4. The Princess Bride (1987)

The timeless movie “The Princess Bride” is filled with memorable moments and catchy dialogue that continue to resonate. Characters like Buttercup, Westley, Fezzik, and Inigo Montoya remain etched in our minds. Directed by Rob Reiner, this charming film skillfully blends action, comedy, and romance.

In a turn of events, when the beautiful Buttercup gets kidnapped by a vile gang aiming to stir up a worldwide conflict, they find themselves pursued by the formidable Dread Pirate Roberts. It’s possible that this pirate is none other than Westley, her one true love. Meanwhile, Prince Humperdinck, who Buttercup is now betrothed to and seems indifferent about her fate, is present. The scene is set for battles, mysteries, and trials – but will Grandpa get the chance to finish the story with all those romantic encounters?

3. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End (2007)

In the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End,” following the rescue of Captain Jack Sparrow from the realm of the deceased, Elizabeth, Will, and Captain Barbossa encounter their foes – Davy Jones and Lord Cutler Beckett. With his newfound control over Jones’ heart, Beckett forms a malicious partnership with him to conquer the seas and annihilate the remaining pirates. Now, Jack, Barbossa, Will, Elizabeth, Tia Dalma, and their team must rally the Pirate Lords from all corners of the earth, including the infamous Sao Feng, in order to summon them and challenge this sinister alliance.

The Pirate Lords aim to rescue Calypso, who is entangled by a device they created due to their terror, from her imprisonment. To do this, they need to gather the nine pieces that keep her bound through a special ritual. Their hope is that once freed, Calypso will aid them in their battle for freedom against Beckett, Jones, Norrington, the Flying Dutchman, and the East India Trading Company, thereby uniting all pirates for one final fight for liberty.

2. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest

We find ourselves once more amidst swashbuckling adventures, complete with daring sword fights and cunning pirates. Captain Jack Sparrow finds himself recalling his debt to Davy Jones, the spectral captain of the Flying Dutchman, a vessel manned by demons. In this predicament, Jack is faced with finding Davy Jones’ heart – a task that requires the help of the clever duo Will Turner and Elizabeth Swan. To complicate matters further, both Will and Elizabeth face execution by hanging unless Will retrieves Lord Cutler Beckett’s compass for him. Thus, Will has no choice but to join Jack on another exhilarating journey.

1. Pirates Of The Caribbean: The Curse Of The Black Pearl (2003)

Our top pick for the greatest pirate movies ever made is Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. Although it may not be the highest-rated film, it’s undeniably the most beloved. Pirates of the Caribbean takes inspiration from the popular Disney Parks attraction and delivers an exhilarating adventure. The movie boasts a thrilling swordfight, an engaging storyline with unique mythology, and a world brought to life by the film’s swashbuckling atmosphere.

In a different phrasing: Young blacksmith William Turner joins forces with the unconventional pirate known as “Captain” Jack Sparrow in an attempt to free Elizabeth Swann, the Governor’s daughter, who has been wrongfully detained by Barbossa, a deceitful and cunning former associate of Jack. Barbossa intends to offer her in a ritualistic blood sacrifice in order to lift a curse upon him and his shipmates.
